Abstract
A system and method for producing images of the structure and composition of an object based on measurements of the low-angle x-ray diffraction properties of the object. The imaging system includes a coded aperture that encodes spatial and spectral features onto radiation scattered from image points within the object. The radiation is detected at a two-dimensional array of detectors, whose output is deconvolved and processed to estimate a three-dimensional image having molecular specificity.
