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 …

Breast imaging is one of the most demanding and delicate radiological applications.
Mammography is the primary diagnosis tool in breast cancer detection and national …

Purpose To evaluate the potential of phase-contrast computed tomography (CT) for
atherosclerotic plaque imaging in human carotid arteries in an experimental ex vivo study …

When an X-ray wave traverses an object, its amplitude and phase change, resulting in
attenuation, interference, and refraction, and in phase-contrast X-ray imaging (PCI) these …

X-ray imaging enables the study of morphodynamic and physiological processes in living
organisms. However, the required photon flux increases with the desired spatial resolution …

Objectives: Early research in phase-contrast imaging indicates that substantial higher soft-
tissue contrast resolution can be obtained compared with conventional absorption …

It is known that the sensitivity of X-ray phase-contrast grating interferometry with regard to
electron density variations present in the sample is related to the minimum detectable …

Glass fabric reinforced thermoplastic (GFRT) constitutes a class of composite materials that
are especially suited for automobile construction due to their combination of low weight …

Previous studies on phase contrast imaging (PCI) mammography have demonstrated an
enhancement of breast morphology and cancerous tissue visualization compared to …

We recently demonstrated how quantitative X-ray phase contrast imaging may be performed
with laboratory sources using the coded aperture technique. This technique required the …
