The first CT scanners in the early 1970s already used iterative reconstruction algorithms;
however, lack of computational power prevented their clinical use. In fact, it took until 2009 …

Although early demonstration dates back to the mid-sixties, x-ray phase-contrast imaging
(XPCI) became hugely popular in the mid-90s, thanks to the advent of 3rd generation …

Background Although advanced medical imaging technologies give detailed diagnostic
information, a low-dose, fast, and inexpensive option for early detection of respiratory …

X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry,
materials science, and engineering. The full potential of such techniques in the life sciences …

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 …

Innovations in CT have been impressive among imaging and medical technologies in both
the hardware and software domain. The range and speed of CT scanning improved from the …

X-ray phase imaging that uses the phenomena of X-ray refraction and scattering to generate
image contrast has the potential to overcome the drawback of conventional X-ray …

Disorders of the lungs such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are a major
cause of chronic morbidity and mortality and the third leading cause of death in the world …

In the past few years, X-ray phase-contrast and dark-field imaging have evolved to be
invaluable tools for non-destructive sample visualisation, delivering information inaccessible …

Impending major hardware advances in cardiac CT include three areas: ultra-high-
resolution (UHR) CT, photon-counting CT, and phase-contrast CT. Cardiac CT is a …
