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 …

This review provides a brief overview, albeit from a somewhat personal perspective, of the
evolution and key features of various hard X-ray phase-contrast imaging (PCI) methods of …

This contribution outlines Synchrotron-based X-ray micro-tomography and its potential use
in structural geology and rock mechanics. The paper complements several recent reviews of …

Faults in vascular (VN) and neuronal networks of spinal cord are responsible for serious
neurodegenerative pathologies. Because of inadequate investigation tools, the lacking …

Three phase-retrieval algorithms, based on the transport-of-intensity equation and on the
contrast transfer function for propagation-based imaging, and on the linearized geometrical …

We present a new quantitative x-ray phase-contrast imaging method based on the edge
illumination principle, which allows achieving unprecedented nanoradian sensitivity. The …

Breast imaging is one of the most demanding and delicate radiological applications.
Mammography is the primary diagnosis tool in breast cancer detection and national …

The monochromatic and polychromatic performance of a grating interferometer is
theoretically analysed. The smallest detectable refraction angle is used as a metric for the …

We report the results of a systematic study of phase-contrast x-ray computed tomography in
the propagation-based and analyser-based modes using specially designed phantoms and …

Results are presented of a recent experiment at the Imaging and Medical beamline of the
Australian Synchrotron intended to contribute to the implementation of low-dose high …
