X-ray computed tomography (CT) can reveal the internal details of objects in three
dimensions non-destructively. In this Primer, we outline the basic principles of CT and …

Phase-contrast x-ray imaging (PCI) is an innovative method that is sensitive to the refraction
of the x-rays in matter. PCI is particularly adapted to visualize weakly absorbing details like …

Although early demonstration dates back to the mid-sixties, x-ray phase-contrast imaging
(XPCI) became hugely popular in the mid-90s, thanks to the advent of 3rd generation …

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 …

The reduction in visibility in x-ray grating interferometry based on the Talbot effect is
formulated by the autocorrelation function of spatial fluctuations of a wavefront due to …

Use of microscopic computed-tomography (micro-CT) scanning continues to grow in
biomedical research. Laboratory-based micro-CT scanners, laboratory-based nano-CT …

We present a simple x-ray phase imaging method that utilizes the sample-induced distortion
of a high contrast random intensity pattern to quantitatively retrieve the two-dimensional …

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 …

X-ray phase imaging that uses the phenomena of X-ray refraction and scattering to generate
image contrast has the potential to overcome the drawback of conventional X-ray …

Purpose To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic contribution of mammography with
synchrotron radiation in patients with questionable or suspicious breast abnormalities …
