A new flexible fabric, dubbed X-Wear, has the potential to revolutionize medical imaging. Developed to replace components in X-ray and CT scan machines, X-Wear promises to enhance patient comfort and convenience during these procedures. By integrating this fabric, future medical scanners could be designed to be less rigid and more adaptable to the patient's body, potentially reducing discomfort and improving the overall experience. The technology holds promise for making essential diagnostic imaging more accessible and less anxiety-inducing for individuals.
