'Super-resolution' technique gives better quality X-ray images sans high radiation

Washington: US researchers have come up with a new way to get better quality X-ray images without having to use more radiation, which increases risk for patients.

The researchers took 15 images made with low doses of X-ray radiation, and used a new software to create a high resolution one from them, a process known as "super-resolution".

Efforts of researchers from Duke University Medical Center in Durham and the University of California Santa Cruz, as well as Silicon Valley-based scientists, have given rise to the new approach.
