The field of X-ray Fluorescence Imaging (XFI) is relatively new, with recent breakthroughs in preclinical applications using synchrotron radiation, whereas tube-based absorption imaging, such as CT, a very well-known and widely used imaging technique. Thus, the question arises how XFI conventional compare, particular terms achievable detection sensitivity. In this article we briefly summarize state art special focus on shedding light onto reasons for why has an intrinsically higher sensitivity than any other form based imaging. Since issue applied radiation dose limits needs to be taken into account well, kept absorbed levels, when comparing same, but will also compare XFI-required level levels PET/SPECT allow quantitative comparison these ultra-high nuclear modalities.
