Synchrotron-radiation computed tomography has been applied in many research fields.
Here, PITRE (Phase-sensitive X-ray Image processing and Tomography REconstruction) …

Purpose To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic contribution of mammography with
synchrotron radiation in patients with questionable or suspicious breast abnormalities …

A method of tomographic phase retrieval is developed for multi-material objects whose
components each have a distinct complex refractive index. The phase-retrieval algorithm …

The fibre orientation distribution in a material sample extracted from an injection moulded
plate, displaying the commonly encountered layered shell–core–shell structure, was …

Absorption-contrast x-ray imaging serves to visualize the variation in x-ray attenuation within
the volume of a given sample, whereas phase contrast allows one to visualize variations in x …

Synchrotron Light Laboratory in Trieste (Italy), an extensive research program in bio …

The aim of the SYRMA-CT collaboration is to set-up the first clinical trial of phase-contrast
breast CT with synchrotron radiation (SR). In order to combine high image quality and low …

Phase-based approaches can revolutionize X-ray imaging and remove its main limitation:
poor image contrast arising from low attenuation differences. They exploit the unit decrement …

The measurement of the linear attenuation coefficients of breast tissues is of fundamental
importance in the field of breast x-ray diagnostic imaging. Different groups have evaluated …
