  41. Summary • First reliable Theoretical Model of DEI – MIR has been developed. • Model can be used to simulate experiments starting from source, through crystals (this was known), through object (was unknown), through analyzer crystal (partially known – dynamical theory of diffraction – but crystal and beam specific calculations need to be done). • CT reconstructions – some steps are already taken in this direction – Miles N. Wernick et al “Preliminary study of multiple-image computed tomography” • CSRRI (IIT) / Nesch LLC – are developing in-lab research DEI instrument
