Phase-contrast x-ray imaging (PCI) is an innovative method that is sensitive to the refraction
of the x-rays in matter. PCI is particularly adapted to visualize weakly absorbing details like …

Direct delivery to the lung via inhalation is arguably one of the most logical approaches to
treat lung cancer using drugs. However, despite significant efforts and investment in this …

We present a simple x-ray phase imaging method that utilizes the sample-induced distortion
of a high contrast random intensity pattern to quantitatively retrieve the two-dimensional …

In early stages of various pulmonary diseases, such as emphysema and fibrosis, the change
in X-ray attenuation is not detectable with absorption-based radiography. To monitor the …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that the joint distribution of x-ray transmission and dark-field
signals obtained with a compact cone-beam preclinical scanner with a polychromatic source …

Achilles tendons are mechanosensitive, and their complex hierarchical structure is in part
the result of the mechanical stimulation conveyed by the muscles. To fully understand how …

We present a three-dimensional (3D) approach for virtual histology and histopathology
based on multi-scale phase contrast x-ray tomography, and use this to investigate the …

A single-exposure quantitative method of x-ray phase contrast imaging, suitable for animal
in vivo observations, is described and shown experimentally both for a known static sample …

Chondrocytes that are impregnated within hydrogel constructs sense applied mechanical
force and can respond by expressing collagens, which are deposited into the extracellular …

Objectives. As the central organ of the respiratory system, the human lung is responsible for
supplying oxygen to the blood, which reaches the erythrocytes by diffusion through the …
