First ever color X-ray on a human
Photon counting sensors have been available for quite a while. This is unfortunately not new. It’s not ’color’ it’s multi channel imaging. X-ray tubes produce wide spectrum of x-rays, these type of sensors are able to put different bands to different buckets.<p>Coloring is arbitrary and conveniently chosen in the example to look like visible wavelength response as if the patient was dissected. It does not work for more complicated anatomy and even in this case needs very likely post processing.<p>I wish we could have a peek inside the patient as if we had opened it up but this is not yet that.
