OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review different x-ray phase-contrast breast
imaging techniques and their potential application in clinical settings. CONCLUSION. Phase …

Breast cancer is a globally widespread disease whose detection has already been
significantly improved by the introduction of screening programs. Nevertheless …

Whereas the two-dimensional (2D) visualisation of biological samples is routine, three-
dimensional (3D) imaging remains a time-consuming and relatively specialised pursuit …

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of grating‐based,
differential phase‐contrast, full‐field digital mammography (FFDM) in terms of the …

In this paper we demonstrate a method for novelty detection of foreign objects in food
products using grating-based multimodal X-ray imaging. With this imaging technique three …

Abstract Treatment of renal calculi is highly dependent on the chemical composition of the
stone in question, which is difficult to determine using standard imaging techniques. The …

Phase-contrast mammography using laboratory X-ray sources is a promising approach to
overcome the relatively low sensitivity and specificity of clinical, absorption-based screening …

Objectives Conventional X-ray attenuation-based contrast is inherently low for the soft-tissue
components of the female breast. To overcome this limitation, we investigate the diagnostic …

X-ray grating-based phase-contrast imaging has raised interest regarding a variety of
potential clinical applications, whereas the method is feasible using a medical x-ray tube …

An X-ray grating interferometer (GI) suitable for clinical mammography must comply with
quite strict dose, scanning time and geometry limitations, while being able to detect tumors …
