Low-dose phase contrast tomography with conventional x-ray sources.
PURPOSE The edge illumination (EI) x-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCi) method has been recently further developed to perform tomographic and, thus, volumetric imaging. In this paper, the first tomographic EI XPCi images acquired with a conventional x-ray source at dose levels below that used for preclinical small animal imaging are presented. METHODS Two test objects, a biological sample and ...
متن کاملLow-dose phase contrast mammography with conventional x-ray sources.
PURPOSE To provide an x-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) method working with conventional sources that could be readily translated into clinical practice. XPCI shows potential in synchrotron studies but attempts at translating it for use with conventional sources are subject to limitations in terms of field of view, stability, exposure time, and possibly most importantly, delivered dose. MET...
متن کاملX-ray phase contrast imaging: From synchrotrons to conventional sources
— Phase-based approaches can revolutionize X-ray imaging and remove its main limitation: poor image contrast arising from low attenuation differences. They exploit the unit decrement of the real part of the refractive index, typically 1000 times larger than the imaginary part driving attenuation. This increases the contrast of all details, and enables the detection of features classically consi...
متن کاملPropagation-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging with broad focus conventional x-ray sources
A propagation-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging (PBI) setup using a conventional x-ray source (LFF Cu target) is presented. A virtual x-ray source of 40 x 50 μm was created by using, horizontally, a 6 take-off angle (with the x-ray tube working in the line focus geometry) and, vertically, a 50 μm slit . The sample was set 12 m from the source. Propagation-based x-ray phase-contrast (PB) image ...
متن کاملHard x-ray phase tomography with low-brilliance sources.
We report on a method for tomographic phase contrast imaging of centimeter sized objects. As opposed to existing techniques, our approach can be used with low-brilliance, lab based x-ray sources and thus is of interest for a wide range of applications in medicine, biology, and nondestructive testing. The work is based on the recent development of a hard x-ray grating interferometer, which has b...
