Purpose: In diagnostic CT imaging, multiple important applications depend on the
knowledge of the x‐ray spectrum, including Monte Carlo dose calculations and dual‐energy …

We demonstrate the feasibility of phase-contrast imaging with an ultrafast laser-based hard x-
ray source. Hard x rays are generated during the interaction of a high-intensity femtosecond …

The 2D projection phase-contrast imaging performance of the ultrafast laser-based x-ray
(ULX) source has been investigated. The potential of such a novel x-ray source has been …

Maintaining high resolving power is a primary challenge in hard x-ray spectroscopy of newly
developed bright and transient x-ray sources such as laser-produced plasmas. To address …

We present an approach and associated computer tool support for conducting distributed
state space exploration for Coloured Petri Nets (CPNs). The distributed state space …

K-shell X-ray spectra were recorded by the Dual Crystal Spectrometer (DCS) from Ag, Sn,
Sm, Ta, and Au planar foil targets irradiated by single intense femtosecond pulses from the …

A CdZnTe (CZT) detector was utilized in mammographic x-ray spectroscopy under clinical
conditions. First, the detector response was investigated using γ-rays from 241 Am. The …

In diagnostic radiology the practical peak voltage was initially derived by postulating that, for
a given combination of X-ray tube and contrast geometry, a constant X-ray tube voltage …

The modulation transfer functions of two types of photostimulable phosphor image plates
were determined in the 10 keV to 50 keV x-ray energy range using a resolution test pattern …

A formidable array of advanced laser systems are emerging that produce extreme states of
light and matter. By irradiating solid and gaseous targets with lasers of increasing energy …
