Abstract
A high-resolution, low-dose, tomographic x-ray scanner for small objects is being developed for use as a tool in in vivo clinical tests of substances suspected of being carcinogenic. In such tests a large group of animals (typically mice) is exposed to the substance in question, and the animals are then inspected at specified intervals for tumor growth. Non-destructive methods of inspection are desirable, and tomographic x-ray imaging is a natural possibility.
