The size of the smallest detectable sample feature in an x-ray imaging system is usually
restricted by the spatial resolution of the system. This limitation can now be overcome using …

Emerging methods of x-ray imaging that capture phase and dark-field effects are equipping
medicine with complementary sensitivity to conventional radiography. These methods are …

Unresolved spatially random microstructure, in an illuminated sample, can lead to position-
dependent blur when an image of that sample is formed. For a small propagation distance …

X-ray diffusive dark-field imaging, which allows spatially unresolved microstructure to be
mapped across a sample, is an increasingly popular tool in an array of settings. Here, we …

Background Pulmonary emphysema is a part of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
which is an irreversible chronic respiratory disease. In order to avoid further damage to lung …

In recent years, a novel x-ray imaging modality has emerged that reveals unresolved sample
microstructure via a" dark-field image", which provides complementary information to …

This thesis designs a new method of x-ray imaging, a way to capture what are known as x-
ray dark-field images. These dark-field images reveal where there are tiny structures within a …

Introduction: The purpose of medical imaging in breast cancer screening is to detect and
characterise pathology. In this context, image quality is best defined in relation to diagnostic …

Deep learning has the advantage of improved medical image processing research. Breast
cancer is the most common cancer in women, and several apps have been established to …
