This beamline utilizes high-energy X-ray computed tomography for longitudinal studies on small animals infected with high-risk pathogens. The major differential of this beamline will be its capacity to generate images with millimetric resolution, roughly 100 times more detailed than conventional medical tomography, using a low dose of radiation. The beamline is named after a genus of plants with beautiful foliage and flowers and is also an acronym: HIgh-Energy Beamline for In-Vivo Small Animal COmputed Tomography.
