This chapter is dedicated to the clinical compatibility of laboratory-based phase-contrast
mammography. First, we present which hardware changes and optimizations were …

Purpose Attenuation-based tomosynthesis has proven to successfully resolve the glandular
tissue overlap present in mammography. However, the ability of tomosynthesis to …

This thesis offers an accessible guide to biomedical phase-contrast imaging with over 20
radiographic illustrations. It focuses on research to improve radiography, and particularly …

Phase-contrast x-ray imaging is a promising improvement of conventional absorption-based
mammography for early tumor detection. This potential has been demonstrated recently …

We report the results of a systematic study of phase-contrast x-ray computed tomography in
the propagation-based and analyser-based modes using specially designed phantoms and …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review different x-ray phase-contrast breast
imaging techniques and their potential application in clinical settings. CONCLUSION. Phase …

X-ray imaging is a corner stone of breast cancer diagnosis. By exploiting the phase shift of X-
rays rather than their attenuation, phase-contrast tomography has the potential to …

Breast computed tomography (BCT) is an emerging application of X-ray tomography in
radiological practice. A few clinical prototypes are under evaluation in hospitals and new …

Objectives: Phase-contrast and scattering-based x-ray imaging are known to provide
additional and complementary information to conventional, absorption-based methods, and …

Objectives Differential phase contrast and scattering-based x-ray mammography has the
potential to provide additional and complementary clinically relevant information compared …
