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 …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most commonly used three-dimensional
medical imaging modalities today. It has been refined over several decades, with the most …

Ever since the first demonstration of phase contrast imaging (PCI) in the 1930s by Frits
Zernike, people have realized the significant advantage of phase contrast over conventional …

Grating interferometer based imaging with X-rays and neutrons has proven to hold huge
potential for applications in key research fields conveying biology and medicine as well as …

Novel radiography approaches based on the wave nature of x-rays when propagating
through matter have a great potential for improved future x-ray diagnostics in the clinics …

The size of the smallest detectable sample feature in an x-ray imaging system is usually
restricted by the spatial resolution of the system. This limitation can now be overcome using …

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 …

We show that a distribution of micrometer-sized calcifications in the human breast which are
not visible in clinical x-ray mammography at diagnostic dose levels can produce a significant …

Accounting for about 1.5 million deaths annually, lung cancer is the prevailing cause of
cancer deaths worldwide, mostly associated with long-term smoking effects. Numerous …

Here we introduce a new concept for x-ray computed tomography that yields information
about the local micro-morphology and its orientation in each voxel of the reconstructed 3D …
