The exploitation of phase contrast appears to offer the tantalising possibility of creating the
biggest change in medical x-ray imaging since the invention of computed tomography. A …

X-ray imaging is a standard tool for the non-destructive inspection of the internal structure of
samples. It finds application in a vast diversity of fields: medicine, biology, many engineering …

X-ray phase contrast imaging is probably the most relevant among emerging x-ray imaging
techniques, and it has the proven potential of revolutionizing the field of diagnostic …

A significant improvement over conventional attenuation-based X-ray imaging, which lacks
contrast in small objects and soft biological tissues, is obtained by introducing phase …

Phase-based approaches can revolutionize X-ray imaging and remove its main limitation:
poor image contrast arising from low attenuation differences. They exploit the unit decrement …

X ray radiography and tomography are important tools in medicine as well as in life science
and materials science. Not long ago an approach called in-line holography based on simple …

Phase contrast imaging (PCI) solves the basic limitation of x-ray imaging, ie, poor image
contrast resulting from small absorption differences. Up to now, it has been mostly limited to …

We report the first experimental soft-tissue phase-contrast tomography results using a
conventional x-ray tube source, with a millimeter-sized focal spot. The setup is based on a …

Objectives: X-ray computed tomography (CT) using phase contrast can provide images with
greatly enhanced soft-tissue contrast in comparison to conventional attenuation-based CT …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES.: We obtained image contrast in pathologic specimens
without the use of contrast material by using phase-contrast imaging with synchrotron X …
