Imaging Liver Lesions Using Grating-Based Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography with Bi-Lateral Filter Post-Processing
X-ray phase-contrast imaging shows improved soft-tissue contrast compared to standard absorption-based X-ray imaging. Especially the grating-based method seems to be one promising candidate for clinical implementation due to its extendibility to standard laboratory X-ray sources. Therefore the purpose of our study was to evaluate the potential of grating-based phase-contrast computed tomography...
متن کاملRevising the lower statistical limit of x-ray grating-based phase-contrast computed tomography
Phase-contrast x-ray computed tomography (PCCT) is currently investigated as an interesting extension of conventional CT, providing high soft-tissue contrast even if examining weakly absorbing specimen. Until now, the potential for dose reduction was thought to be limited compared to attenuation CT, since meaningful phase retrieval fails for scans with very low photon counts when using the conv...
متن کاملExperimental Realisation of High-sensitivity Laboratory X-ray Grating-based Phase-contrast Computed Tomography
The possibility to perform high-sensitivity X-ray phase-contrast imaging with laboratory grating-based phase-contrast computed tomography (gbPC-CT) setups is of great interest for a broad range of high-resolution biomedical applications. However, achieving high sensitivity with laboratory gbPC-CT setups still poses a challenge because several factors such as the reduced flux, the polychromatici...
متن کاملHelical X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography without phase stepping
X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) using grating interferometry provides enhanced soft-tissue contrast. The possibility to use standard polychromatic laboratory sources enables an implementation into a clinical setting. Thus, PCCT has gained significant attention in recent years. However, phase-contrast CT scans still require significantly increased measurement times in comparison ...
متن کاملX-ray phase contrast imaging with polychromatic sources and the concept of effective energy
Grating based quantitative polychromatic x-ray phase imaging is currently a very active area of research. It has already been shown that, in such systems, the retrieved differential phase depends upon the spectral properties of the source, gratings, detector and sample. In this paper, we show that the retrieved sample absorption also depends upon the spectral properties of the gratings. Further...
