Impending major hardware advances in cardiac CT include three areas: ultra-high-
resolution (UHR) CT, photon-counting CT, and phase-contrast CT. Cardiac CT is a …

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 …

Background Biliary obstruction leads to an increase in biliary pressure within the biliary
system, which induces the morphologic adaptation of the biliary tree. Purpose To observe …

Current clinical imaging methods face limitations in the detection and correct
characterization of different subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), while these are …

Phase-contrast X-ray imaging is becoming increasingly considered since its first
applications, which occurred almost 30 years ago. Particular emphasis was placed on …

X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) can provide excellent image contrast
for soft tissues with small density differences, and it is particularly appropriate for three …

Objectives Grating-based phase-contrast computed tomography (gb-PCCT) relies on x-ray
refraction instead of absorption to generate high-contrast images in biological soft tissue …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of grating-based
phase-contrast computed tomography (gb-PCCT) to classify and quantify coronary vessel …

This study was conducted on a human aorta phantom with a commercially available stent
graft placed in the aorta with the aim of investigating visualization of aortic stent graft by …

Gliomas are rich in blood vessels, and the generation of tumor‐associated vessels plays an
important role in glioma growth and transfer. Histology can directly depict microvascular …
