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 …

Biomaterials are employed in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
(TERM) in order to enhance the regeneration or replacement of tissue function and/or …

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 …

Micron-scale computed tomography (micro-CT) is an essential tool for phenotyping and for
elucidating diseases and their therapies. This work is focused on preclinical micro-CT …

Microcomputed tomography (microCT) has become a standard and essential tool for
quantifying structure-function relationships, disease progression, and regeneration in …

Bone's remarkable mechanical properties are a result of its hierarchical structure. The
mineralized collagen fibrils, made up of collagen fibrils and crystal platelets, are bone's …

Computed tomography (CT) is an essential tool in diagnostic imaging for evaluating many
clinical conditions. In recent years, there have been several notable advances in CT …

Novel radiography approaches based on the wave nature of x-rays when propagating
through matter have a great potential for improved future x-ray diagnostics in the clinics …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that the joint distribution of x-ray transmission and dark-field
signals obtained with a compact cone-beam preclinical scanner with a polychromatic source …

In this review article we describe the development of grating-based X-ray phase-contrast
imaging, with particular emphasis on potential biomedical applications of the technology …
