Featured Application X-ray phase contrast and dark-field imaging have been recently
introduced in conventional systems. They have been demonstrated to outperform the …

The rapid developments in X-ray instrumentation and the associated analytical methods
have demonstrated a tremendous impact on a wide range of fundamental and applied …

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 …

Dark-field X-ray imaging visualizes scattering from unresolved microstructure. Most dark-
field imaging techniques rely on crystals or structured illumination, but recent work has …

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 …

Heterotopic mineralization entails pathological mineral formation inside soft tissues. In
human tendons mineralization is often associated with tendinopathies, tendon weakness …

X-ray imaging has conventionally relied upon attenuation to provide contrast. In recent
years, two complementary modalities have been added;(a) phase contrast, which can …

We investigated effects of unresolvable sharp edges on images obtained in a grating-based
X-ray differential phase imaging technique. Results of numerical calculations for …

The realm of classical phase retrieval concerns itself with the arduous task of recovering a
signal from its Fourier transform magnitude, which is fraught with inherent ambiguities. A …

Phase-sensitive X-ray imaging shows a high sensitivity towards electron density variations,
making it well suited for imaging of soft tissue matter. However, there are still open questions …
