A method of performing a radiological biopsy and associated system includes scanning a living human subject with a CT scanner to locate coordinates of an area of potential pathology and then using the coordinates to direct synchrotron radiation to a location at, or proximat the coordinates to obtain a high-resolution image of the area of potential pathology. The CT scan is accomplished with a CT scanner such as a C-Arm, vertical or horizontal CT scanner. A synchrotron radiation source emits synchrotron radiation through the subject and is processed by a processing system. The method and system allow for concurrent or sequential scanning of the subject by the CT scanner and synchrotron radiation scanner. The resulting images provide histological resolution of areas of potential pathology.
