Throughout the decades, selective delivery of smart diagnostic agents as well as antitumor
medications to tumor sites for early-stage cancer monitoring and avoiding hazardous effects …

The ability of biomedical imaging data to be of quantitative nature is getting increasingly
important with the ongoing developments in data science. In contrast to conventional …

Refraction-based x-ray imaging can overcome the fundamental contrast limit of computed
tomography (CT), particularly in soft tissue, but so far has been constrained to high-dose ex …

The assessment of margin involvement is a fundamental task in breast conserving surgery to
prevent recurrences and reoperations. It is usually performed through histology, which …

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 …

Multicontrast X-ray imaging with high resolution and sensitivity using Talbot–Lau
interferometry (TLI) offers unique imaging capabilities that are important to a wide range of …

Accurately monitoring the extent of freezing in biological tissue is an important requirement
for cryoablation, a minimally invasive cancer treatment that induces cell death by freezing …

Objective: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women and shows
a rising incidence at younger ages. Therefore, early diagnosis is of great significance for …

The dark-field signal uncovers details beyond conventional X-ray attenuation contrast, which
is especially valuable for material sciences. In particular, dark-field techniques are able to …

For a century, clinical X-ray imaging has visualised only the attenuation properties of tissue,
which fundamentally limits the contrast, particularly in soft tissues like the breast. Imaging …
