X-ray phase imaging has the potential to dramatically improve soft tissue contrast sensitivity,
which is a crucial requirement in many diagnostic applications such as breast imaging. In …

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 …

The SYRMA-CT project aims to set-up the first clinical trial of phase-contrast breast
Computed Tomography with synchrotron radiation at the SYRMEP beamline of Elettra, the …

X-ray breast computed tomography (breast-CT) is a new emerging technique for breast
imaging however its application is still limited because of low spatial resolution and high …

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 …

Phase-contrast imaging techniques address the issue of poor soft-tissue contrast
encountered in traditional X-ray imaging. This can be accomplished with the propagation …

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 …

The aim of this study was to optimise the experimental protocol and data analysis for in-vivo
breast cancer x-ray imaging. Results are presented of the experiment at the SYRMEP …

Abstract Purpose Within the SYRMA-CT collaboration based at the ELETTRA synchrotron
radiation (SR) facility the authors investigated the imaging performance of the phase …

Results are presented of a recent experiment at the Imaging and Medical beamline of the
Australian Synchrotron intended to contribute to the implementation of low-dose high …
