Numerous advances have been made in X-ray technology in recent years. X-ray imaging
plays an important role in the nondestructive exploration of the internal structures of objects …

Clinical radiography has traditionally been based on contrast obtained from absorption
when X-rays pass through the body. The contrast obtained from traditional radiography can …

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 …

Since the 1990s, the use of X-ray phase contrast has been extensively studied for imaging
weakly absorbing objects consisting of low-Z elements such as biological soft tissues and …

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 …

Ever since the first demonstration of phase contrast imaging (PCI) in the 1930s by Frits
Zernike, people have realized the significant advantage of phase contrast over conventional …

In-line X-ray phase-contrast imaging technique is an emerging method for the study of
materials such as carbon fibers, carbon composite materials, polymers, etc. Similarly this …

Conventional absorption-based imaging often lacks in good contrast at special applications
like visualization of soft tissue or weak absorbing material in general. To overcome this …

Hard x-ray phase-contrast imaging provides high sensitivity to weakly absorbing low-Z
objects in medicine, biology, and materials science. Here, we describe a feasible method to …

X-ray phase-contrast imaging and tomography make use of the refraction of X-rays by the
sample in image formation. This provides considerable additional information in the image …
