1. A method of generating high energy x-rays, comprising:

  • (a) generating a beam of electronic charges;

    (b) generating a standing wave laser beam;

    (c) colliding the beam of charges with the standing wave laser beam, including intersecting the standing wave laser beam and beam of charges to generate a burst cone of high energy x-rays;

    (d) detecting fluorescence spectra from interactions of the high energy x-rays with a patient'"'"'s body to determine tissue properties;

    (e) generating a 3-D graphic which differentiates tissues having differing fluorescence characteristics; and

    (f) repeating the detecting to obtain temporal information (4-D).
