Atherosclerotic plaque imaging using phase-contrast X-ray computed tomography.
Reliable, noninvasive imaging modalities to characterize plaque components are clinically desirable for detecting unstable coronary plaques, which cause acute coronary syndrome. Although recent clinical developments in computed tomography (CT) have enabled the visualization of luminal narrowing and calcified plaques in coronary arteries, the identification of noncalcified plaque components rema...
متن کاملPhase contrast X - ray imaging
In the last decade X-ray imaging based on phase contrast greatly advanced thanks to the use of unmonochromatic synchrotron hard X-rays. The recent advances are going beyond microradiology and microtomography to reach nanometre scale. This paper reviews basic theory and selected applications to biomedical and materials sciences. The forthcoming improvements in phase contrast X-ray imaging will l...
متن کاملPhase-Contrast X-ray imaging
Virtually all X-rays imaging in a medical or biological context is performed by measuring differences in the attenuation of X-rays by the tissues. The material properties are inferred from the differences in the number of photons detected at the end of defined paths in the sample. Naturally then this form of X-ray imaging concentrates almost entirely on the particle side of X-ray behaviour. The...
متن کاملPropagation based phase contrast x-ray imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans
Introduction: Imaging of multicellular organisms with nano-scale resolution is one of the challenges of modern life sciences. To solve biological problems, often the combined information of several microscopy techniques is necessary. While confocal fluorescence microscopy and optical super-resolution fluorescence can detect the distribution of markers in live cells, electron microscopy (EM) off...
متن کاملNoise analysis of speckle-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging.
Speckle-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging has drawn increasing interest in recent years as a simple, multimodal, cost-efficient, and laboratory-source adaptable method. We investigate its noise properties to help further optimization on the method and further comparison with other phase-contrast methods. An analytical model for assessing noise in a differential phase signal is adapted from stu...
