How does colored imaging x-ray or colored imaging CT scan work

The technology for colored imaging is not only on the horizon, but it is also on the campus of a research facility, where researchers are giving the phrase “in living color” a new meaning.

Are these artificial colors the machine ads to image in real time scanning and viewing? Or is machine able to see real color.

 

Like colored radiographic images, such as X-rays, mammograms and CT scans.

 

I know when you look at say a kids books or high school books on the human body the artificial color is added to gray image after the scan to help visualize the image to the viewer.

It's still false colour. They will probably use colours that reflect how we see the sample sections when they are exposed to natural light.

 

 

...the MBI preclinical spectral CT scanner can detect up to eight X-ray energy channels simultaneously, allowing color assignment to specific molecular signatures for improved identification of abnormalities, such as tumors....

So not having tech add the artificial colors the machine ads the artificial colors after the scan? Faster and speeds things up doing it this way?

In order to see the colours that we see in those parts in visible light, there needs to be that same spectrum reflecting off the body parts by the scanners, which there isn't. I might be wrong, but if you render with a different spectrum, the 'colours' will be different or have to be rendered post-capture.

Yea from my understanding even if the machine can see in color the human body does have color like what you see in illustrations text books.

 

A x-ray tech would put in false color for illustrations.

 

These are false colors added to x-ray by tech after the scan

They do to make illustrations better for people learning about the human body and the public to understand.

 

They take x-ray black and white than the x-ray tech ads in the color.

 

Where the article say the machine puts in the color not that the machine see the human body in color, it just puts in false color automatically? Making it eaer for the public and doctors to read scan with out specialist. Speding things up and keeping the cost down.

Yeah , the only way I can see it, is if the scanning frequency range is interpreted according to some pre-programmed colour algorithm that renders the colours we see. The visible spectrum cannot penetrate the body, so, it can't be direct daylight colour, like a normal camera,.
