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 …

Background Although advanced medical imaging technologies give detailed diagnostic
information, a low-dose, fast, and inexpensive option for early detection of respiratory …

Background X-ray dark-field radiography takes advantage of the wave properties of x-rays,
with a relatively high signal in the lungs due to the many air-tissue interfaces in the alveoli …

Recent developments in the prediction of local aerosol deposition in human lungs are driven
by the fast development of computational simulations. Although such simulations provide …

Disorders of the lungs such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are a major
cause of chronic morbidity and mortality and the third leading cause of death in the world …

X-ray chest radiography is an inexpensive and broadly available tool for initial assessment
of the lung in clinical routine, but typically lacks diagnostic sensitivity for detection of …

Background Dark-field chest radiography allows for assessment of lung alveolar structure by
exploiting wave optical properties of x-rays. Purpose To evaluate the qualitative and …

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 …

Accounting for about 1.5 million deaths annually, lung cancer is the prevailing cause of
cancer deaths worldwide, mostly associated with long-term smoking effects. Numerous …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease with a median
life expectancy of 4–5 years after initial diagnosis. Early diagnosis and accurate monitoring …
