    摘要: A method and a device for analyzing a region of interest in an object is proposed. The method comprises: (a) providing measurement data by a differential phase contrast X-ray imaging system, and (b) analyzing characteristics of the object in the region of interest. Therein, the measurement data comprise a 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional set of pixels wherein for each pixel the measurement data comprises three types of image data spatially aligned with each other, including (i) absorption representing image data A, (ii) differential phase contrast representing image data D, and (iii) coherence representing image data C. The analyzing step is based, for each pixel, on a combination of at least two of information comprised in the absorption representing image data A and information comprised in the differential phase contrast representing image data D and information comprised in the coherence representing image data C.

    摘要: The invention relates to X-ray imaging. In order to improve flexibility, for example in relation with phase-contrast imaging, the X-ray imaging device (10) comprises an X-ray source arrangement for providing an X-ray beam (11). Further, it is provided at least one grating (13, 14) and a line detector (15) with a plurality of sensor lines, which sensor lines are each provided by a plurality of sensor elements, and which sensor lines are provided for detecting respective portions of the X-ray beam (11) passing the at least one grating during operation. The X-ray imaging device is arranged for moving the line detector (15) and an object (21) to be imaged relative to each other, such that in response to the portions of the X-ray beam a number of interference patterns are detectable at respective different relative positions of the line detector and the object for reconstructing an image of the object (21). The at least one grating (13, 14) comprises at least one first segment (161) and at least one second segment (162) arranged adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the line detector (15). The X-ray imaging device is arranged for moving the line detector (15) and the at least one grating relative to each other between at least a first relative position and a second relative position, such that in the first relative position, a portion of the X-ray beam (11) during operation passes through the at least one first segment (161), while the at least one second segment (162) is arranged outside said portion of the X-ray beam (11), and that in the second relative position, said portion of the X-ray beam (11) during operation passes through the at least one second segment (162), while the at least one first segment (161) is arranged outside said portion of the X-ray beam (11).

    摘要: The invention relates to an image generation apparatus (1) for generating an image of an object. A reconstruction unit (10) reconstructs the image based on provided measured projection values such that costs defined by a cost function are reduced, wherein the cost function depends on differences between calculated projection values, which have been determined by simulating a forward projection through the image, and the provided measured projection values, and wherein a degree of dependence of the cost function on a respective difference depends on the respective difference. This can allow for a consideration of a degree of disturbance of the measured projection values by motion and/or by an incomplete illumination of the object during the reconstruction process, which can lead to a reconstruction of an image having an improved image quality.
