What is soft-tissue X-ray imaging? How is soft-tissue X-ray imaging used to image roots? How are root traits quantified from X-ray images? How is soft-tissue X-ray imaging of roots being used to answer important issues in yield improvement and sustainability? Can soft-tissue X-ray imaging results be used in crop optimization modeling and decision tools?

Root Lab

We focus on problems whose solutions are worth tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Medical X-ray Imaging Soft-tissue X-ray Imaging

Field Harvested Roots Can Be Complicated to Analyze

Our Basic X-ray Imaging Concept X-ray Camera X-ray Generator Very low energy X-rays (10Kev) allow for soft-tissue imaging.
