Purpose: Recently, progress has been achieved in implementing phase-contrast
tomography of soft biological tissues at laboratory sources. This opens up opportunities for …

X-ray microfocus computed tomography (micro-CT) is recently put forward to qualitatively
and quantitatively characterize the internal structure of porous materials. However, it is …

Histological images are very important for diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. However,
during the preparation of the histological slides for microscopy, the 3D information of the …

Ever since Röntgen discovered X-rays in 1895, they have been used extensively to image
the interior of objects without physically cutting them open, ie in a nondestructive way …

Clinical diagnostic tools provide limited information on the underlying structural and
mechanical properties of bone-tissue affected by degenerative and bone metabolic …

Malignant diseases are characterized by a critical trait known as invasiveness, where tumor
cells tend to spread from the primary tissue layer into surrounding healthy tissues and …

X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-invasive, non-destructive approach to imaging
materials, material systems and engineered components in two-and three-dimensions …

Among the X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) techniques, both propagation-based and
grating-based micro-tomography recently dominate the non-destructive three-dimensional …

X-ray phase contrast micro computed tomography (micro-CT) can non-destructively provide
the internal structure information of soft tissues and low atomic number materials. It has …

Laboratory transmission soft X-ray microscopy (L-TXM) has emerged as a complementary
tool to synchrotron-based TXM and high-resolution biomedical 3D imaging in general in …
