Model experiment of in vivo synchrotron X-ray diffraction of human kidney stones

The diffraction of synchrotron radiation (SR) was used to explore the phase composition of kidney stones placed into a specific object phantom, which imitated the human body. As an imitation of the patient breath, the kidney stone was moved vertically and rotated to an angle of 15° during the recording of the X-ray pattern. It was shown that rotation and displacement did not distort the X-ray pattern.
