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 …

Refraction-based x-ray imaging can overcome the fundamental contrast limit of computed
tomography (CT), particularly in soft tissue, but so far has been constrained to high-dose ex …

Objectives Differential phase contrast and scattering-based x-ray mammography has the
potential to provide additional and complementary clinically relevant information compared …

This chapter is dedicated to the clinical compatibility of laboratory-based phase-contrast
mammography. First, we present which hardware changes and optimizations were …

X-ray grating interferometry (XGI) can provide multiple image modalities. It does so by
utilizing three different contrast mechanisms—attenuation, refraction (differential phase …

Grating-based X-ray computed tomography allows for simultaneous and nondestructive
determination of the full X-ray complex index of refraction and the scattering coefficient …

The latest progresses in breast imaging using differential phase contrast techniques pose
the question of how to fuse multiple information sources, yielded by absorption, differential …

For a century, clinical X-ray imaging has visualised only the attenuation properties of tissue,
which fundamentally limits the contrast, particularly in soft tissues like the breast. Imaging …

This paper introduces a new image denoising, fusion and enhancement framework for
combining and optimal visualization of x-ray attenuation contrast (AC), differential phase …

Phase contrast and scattering-based X-ray imaging are very promising tools for medical
diagnostics because they are able to provide additional and complementary information to …
