简介：
基于纳米材料的场发射冷阴极X射线源是近几年出现的，被认为是可以取代热阴极技术的具有革命性的新型X射线源技术，具有高空间分辨、高时间分辨、低功耗且易于集成等诸多优势。这些优势将给X射线技术带来新的突破。例如，利用冷阴极技术，可以很容易的实现微焦点X射线源，这在工业检测，相位衬度成像，生命科学研究等领域有重要领用。另外一个最具潜力的方向是基于冷阴极的X射线源阵列的静态多源CT。这种CT技术以电子式的扫描取代传统的机械转动来获取不同角度的图像，可消除机械转动带来的成像伪影，缩短扫描时间，从而减少病人的辐射剂量，并提高对动态物体的成像精度，如跳动的心脏等。而对心脏清晰成像仍是目前CT技术的难点。
经过多年研究，课题组制备出性能优异的碳纳米管场发射阵列。碳纳米管阵列的场发射性能，包括电流密度，电子发散度，稳定性和寿命等，均已达到国际领先水平。目前，课题组已经研制出碳纳米管冷阴极微焦点X射线源，并结合自主开发的三维成像算法，获得了国内首张冷阴极X射线三维成像图。下一步，课题组将进一步优化射线源系统，并利用这个平台技术，实现多样化整机系统集成。
