X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most commonly used three-dimensional
medical imaging modalities today. It has been refined over several decades, with the most …

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 …

Background Many clinically relevant fractures are occult on conventional radiographs and
therefore challenging to diagnose reliably. X-ray dark-field radiography is a developing …

In this work, we present a multimodal approach to three-dimensionally quantify and visualize
fiber orientation and resin-rich areas in carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers manufactured by …

Background Kidney stone analysis techniques are well-established in the field of materials
characterization and provide information for the chemical composition and structure of a …

Quantitative assessment of micro-structure of materials is of key importance in many fields
including tissue engineering, biology, and dentistry. Micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) is …

In X-ray grating interferometry, dark-field contrast arises due to partial extinction of the
detected interference fringes. This is also called visibility reduction and is attributed to small …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of x-ray dark-field radiography
for the noninvasive detection of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals as a novel diagnostic tool …

Kidney diseases are the major reason for renal failure. Ranging from calcium deposits,
stones, and to the maximum extent of chronic kidney disease, there are multiple …
