USC researchers work with Polaris Dawn to study new approach to X-ray imaging in outer space

Today's spaceflights typically last a few days to a few months, so onboard medical treatment is mostly limited to first aid. But researchers are increasingly exploring new terrain - known as in-flight space medicine - that will be critical for maintaining astronauts' health during longer missions, such as the 21-month roundtrip to Mars.
