摘要: The present invention relates to acquiring reference scan data for X-ray phase-contrast imaging and/or X-ray dark-field imaging. Therefore an X-ray detector (26) is arranged opposite an X-ray source (12) across an examination region (30) with a grating arrangement (18) arranged between the X-ray source (12) and the X-ray detector (26). During an imaging operation without an object in the examination region (30) the grating arrangement (18) is moved in a scanning motion to a number of different positions (a) relative to the X-ray detector (26) whilst the X-ray detector (26) remains stationary relative to the examination region (30) such that in the scanning motion a series of fringe patterns is detected by the X-ray detector (26). The scanning motion is repeated for a different series of fringe patterns. This allows acquiring reference scan data required for calibration of an X-ray imaging device (10′″) with less scanning motions.

摘要: The invention relates to an analyzing grid for phase contrast imaging and/or dark-field imaging, a detector arrangement for phase contrast imaging and/or dark-field imaging comprising such analyzing grid, an X-ray imaging system comprising such detector arrangement, a method for manufacturing such analyzing grid, a computer program element for controlling such analyzing grid or detector arrangement for performing such method and a computer readable medium having stored such computer program element. The analyzing grid comprises a number of X-ray converting gratings. The X-ray converting gratings are configured to convert incident X-ray radiation into light or charge. The number of X-ray converting gratings comprises at least a first X-ray converting grating and a second X-ray converting grating. Further, the X-ray converting gratings each comprise an array of grating bars, wherein the grating bars within each X-ray converting grating are arranged mutually displaced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the incident X-ray radiation by a specific displacement pitch. Further, the grating bars of the first X-ray converting grating are arranged mutually displaced from the grating bars of the second X-ray converting grating in the direction perpendicular to the incident X-ray radiation by the displacement pitch divided by the number of X-ray converting gratings.

摘要: A method and systems of reconstructing a complex-valued X-ray refractive index distribution of an object having undergone X-ray phase-contrast tomography. The method includes acquiring at least one X-ray image of an object using an edge illumination X-ray phase-contrast tomography (EIXPCT) model, discretizing the model, jointly reconstructing the complex-valued refractive index distribution of the object using penalized least squares estimation of real and imaginary parts of the distribution, and solving the penalized least squares estimation using a batch gradient algorithm.

摘要: X-ray scattering imaging can provide complementary information about the unresolved microstructures of a sample. The scattering signal can be accessed with various methods based on coherent illumination, which span from self-imaging to speckle scanning. The directional sensitivity of the existing methods is limited to a few directions on the imaging plane and it requires the scanning of the optical components, or the rotation of either the sample or the imaging setup, if the full range of possible scattering directions is desired. A new arrangement is provided that allows the simultaneous acquisition of the scattering images in all possible directions in a single shot. This is achieved by a specialized phase grating and a device for recording the generated interference fringe with sufficient spatial resolution. The technique decouples the sample dark-field signal with the sample orientation, which can be crucial for medical and industrial applications.

摘要: A phase contrast X-ray imaging system includes: an illumination source adapted to illuminate a region of interest; a diffraction grating adapted to receive illumination from the illuminated region of interest, the diffraction grating comprising a spatial structure having a first periodicity superimposed with a second periodicity that is different from the first periodicity; and a detector adapted to detect illumination passing through the diffraction grating, wherein the spatial structure is defined by varying height and/or pitch, and wherein the spatial structure imparts a first phase dependence based on the first periodicity and an additional phase dependence based on the second periodicity on the illumination passing through the diffraction grating.
