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 …

The use of infrared lasers to power optical-scale lithographically fabricated particle
accelerators is a develo** area of research that has garnered increasing interest in recent …

Eagerly awaited, this second edition of a best-selling text comprehensively describes from a
modern perspective the basics of x-ray physics as well as the completely new opportunities …

Over the past decade, the number of publications using micro-computed tomography (μCT)
imaging in preclinical in vivo studies has risen exponentially. Higher spatial and temporal …

While large-scale synchrotron sources provide a highly brilliant monochromatic X-ray beam,
these X-ray sources are expensive in terms of installation and maintenance, and require …

The basic principles of x-ray image formation in radiology have remained essentially
unchanged since Röntgen first discovered x-rays over a hundred years ago. The …

In early stages of various pulmonary diseases, such as emphysema and fibrosis, the change
in X-ray attenuation is not detectable with absorption-based radiography. To monitor the …

Inverse Compton scattering provides means to generate low-divergence partially coherent
quasi-monochromatic, ie synchrotron-like, X-ray radiation on a laboratory scale. This …

Advances in microscopy techniques based on x-rays have opened unprecedented
opportunities in terms of spatial resolution, combined with chemical and morphology …

The sensitivity of x-ray radiographic images, meaning the minimal detectable change in the
thickness or in the index of refraction of a sample, is directly related to the uncertainty of the …
