Radiologist 
By: Jillian DeCoster
Current issues in this field… 
• X-rays cannot image the body’s soft tissues 
• They are making a new technology instead of using the 
radiation. 
• new approach developed by researchers at MIT and 
Massachusetts General Hospital can change that 
• “Could make X-rays ubiquitous, because of its higher 
resolution, the fact that the dose would be smaller and 
the hardware smaller, cheaper, and more capable than 
current X-rays,” - Luis Velasquez Garcia
The technology today 
.
X-rays need an update 
• Over 100 years old, time to update the machines 
• The machines used to generate them still rely resolutely on 
vacuum tubes. 
• hope to create X-ray machines that are smaller, simpler and 
able to produce more detailed pictures 
• could be used to enhance security screening at airports, 
• to allow engineers to check the structure of materials more 
easily 
• to enhance medical images in a way that would improve 
cancer therapy.
