Grating interferometry is a promising diagnostic technique that enables simultaneous acquisition of three complementary, synergistic X-ray images: transmission, differential phase, and dark-field. Its key advantage over other setups is its…
The diffraction contrast modalities accessible by X-ray grating interferometers are not imaged directly but have to be inferred from sine like signal variations occurring in a series of images acquired at varying relative positions of the…
Efficient imaging of biomolecules, 2D materials and electromagnetic fields depends on retrieval of the phase of transmitted electrons. We demonstrate a method to measure phase in a scanning transmission electron microscope using a…
X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging (PCI) yields absorption, differential phase, and dark-field images. Computed Tomography (CT) of grating-based PCI can in principle provide high-resolution soft-tissue contrast. Recently, grating-based PCI took…
In conventional absorption based x-ray computed tomography (CT), the noise variance in reconstructed CT images scales with spatial resolution following an inverse cubic relationship. Without reconstruction, in x-ray absorption radiography,…
Dark-field imaging based on grating interferometry is an emerging X-ray modality in medical imaging, which is particularly capable of providing complementary diagnostic information by visualizing the microstructural properties of lung…
Multi-energy CT has long demonstrated its ability to enhance image quality with material decomposition. Yet, it has largely been limited to applications that already have high contrast. More recently, x-ray phase-contrast (XPC) imaging has…
X-ray grating interferometry is an excellent technique for X-ray phase contrast imaging and X-ray wavefront sensing with applications in materials science, biology and medical diagnosis. Among other requirements, the method depends on the…
Fabrication of X-ray gratings has surged in the last two decades thanks to their vast employment in X-ray Phase Contrast Imaging, an imaging technique able to boost X-ray sensitivity to detect otherwise invisible details. These high aspect…
CT image-guided thermal ablation is widely used for lung cancer treatment; however, follow-up data indicate that physicians' subjective assessments of intraoperative images often overestimate the ablation effect, potentially leading to…
Grating interferometer is a state of art x-ray imaging approach, which can simultaneously acquire information of x-ray attenuation, phase shift, and small angle scattering. This approach is very sensitive to micro-structural variation and…
Material decomposition in X-ray imaging uses the energy-dependence of attenuation to virtually decompose an object into specific constituent materials. X-ray phase contrast imaging is a developing technique that can enhance image contrast…
This paper proposes a novel approach to spectral computed tomography (CT) material decomposition that uses the recent advances in generative diffusion models (DMs) for inverse problems. Spectral CT and more particularly photon-counting CT…
To implement dual phase grating x-ray interferometry with x-ray tubes, one needs to incorporate an absorbing source grating. In order to attain good fringe visibility, the period of a source grating should be subject to a stringent…
Phase-wrapping artifacts, statistical image noise and the need for a minimum amount of phase steps per projection limit the practicability of x-ray grating based phase-contrast tomography, when using filtered back projection reconstruction.…
We describe a simple and fast technique to perform ultrasound differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in arbitrarily thick scattering media. Though configured in a reflection geometry, DPC is based on transmission imaging and is a direct…
We reported the usage of grating-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging in nondestructive testing of grating imperfections. It was found that electroplating flaws could be easily detected by conventional absorption signal, and in particular, we…
Two-dimensional Talbot array illuminators (TAIs) were designed, fabricated, and evaluated for high-resolution high-contrast x-ray phase imaging of soft tissue at 10-20keV. The TAIs create intensity modulations with a high compression ratio…
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide and a common complication of diabetes. As two different imaging tools for DR grading, color fundus photography (CFP) and infrared fundus photography (IFP) are…
X-ray phase-contrast imaging has the potential to improve image contrast with lower dose by probing an object's refractive properties as well as its absorptive properties. To reconstruct a phase-contrast image from a raw dataset, a phase…
