Numerical comparison of X-ray differential phase contrast and attenuation contrast
We present a numerical tool to compare directly the contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR) of the attenuation- and differential phase-contrast signals available from grating-based X-ray imaging for single radiographs. The attenuation projection is differentiated to bring it into a modality comparable to the differential phase projection using a Gaussian derivative filter. A Relative Contrast Gain (RCG) ...
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 کاملFast iterative reconstruction of differential phase contrast X-ray tomograms.
Differential phase-contrast is a recent technique in the context of X-ray imaging. In order to reduce the specimen's exposure time, we propose a new iterative algorithm that can achieve the same quality as FBP-type methods, while using substantially fewer angular views. Our approach is based on 1) a novel spline-based discretization of the forward model and 2) an iterative reconstruction algori...
متن کاملImage fusion in x-ray differential phase-contrast imaging
Phase-contrast imaging is a novel modality in the field of medical X-ray imaging. The pioneer method is the grating-based interferometry which has no special requirements to the X-ray source and object size. Furthermore, it provides three different types of information of an investigated object simultaneously – absorption, differential phase-contrast and dark-field images. Differential phase-co...
