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 …

Computed tomography (CT) as an important clinical diagnostics method can profit from
extension with dark-field imaging, as it is currently restricted to X-rays' attenuation contrast …

In X-ray grating interferometry, dark-field contrast arises due to partial extinction of the
detected interference fringes. This is also called visibility reduction and is attributed to small …

The analysis of archaeological findings reveals the remaining secrets of human history.
However, it is a challenging task to investigate and simultaneously preserve the unique …

Purpose: X‐ray dark‐field imaging promises information on the small angle scattering
properties even of large samples. However, the dark‐field image is correlated with the …

The dark-field signal measures the small-angle scattering strength and provides
complementary diagnostic information. This is of particular interest for lung imaging due to …

X-ray dark-field imaging is a promising technique for lung diagnosis. Due to the alveolar
structure of lung tissue, a higher contrast is obtained by the dark-field image compared to the …

The design of new x-ray phase contrast imaging setups often relies on Monte Carlo
simulations for prospective parameter studies. Monte Carlo simulations are known to be …

The performance of a Talbot-Lau interferometer depends to a great extent on its visibility.
This means, to obtain high quality phase-contrast and dark-field images a high visibility is …

X-ray imaging by means of a grating-based Talbot-Lau interferometer has become an
important tool for a wide variety of application areas such as security, medical and materials …
