Abstract
The group of Biomedical Photon ics at the University of Bern pushes the development of non-invasive imagi ng techniques based on electromagnetic and acoustic waves to extract anato mical features from biological tissues for pre-clinical and clinical purpo ses. Because of their penetration depth\, X-rays are of special interest i n medicine. Conventional and advanced full-field X-ray imaging methods are combined with scattering and fluorescence to characterize biological tiss ues. A prominent example is three-dimensional virtual histology. The final goal is to decipher diseases by the identification of pathological mechan isms.
