摘要： The present invention relates to X-ray image acquisition technology in general. Employing phase-contrast imaging for X-ray image acquisition may significantly enhance the quality and information content of images acquired. However, phase-contrast information may only be obtainable in a small detector region, possibly being too small for a sufficient field of rotation view for specialized X-ray imaging applications. Accordingly, an apparatus for phase-contrast imaging is provided that may allow the acquisition of an enlarged field of view. According to the present invention an apparatus (1) for phase-contrast imaging is provided, comprising an X-ray source (2), an X-ray detector (12) element having a detector size, a beam splitter grating (8) and an analyzer grating (10). An object (6) is arrangeable between the X-ray source (2) and the X-ray detector (12). The beam splitter grating (8) and the analyzer grating (10) are arrangeable between the X-ray source (2) and the X-ray detector (12). X-ray source (2), the beam splitter grating (8), the analyzer grating (10) and the X-ray detector (12) are operatively coupled such that a phase-contrast image of the object (6) is obtainable. The apparatus (1) is adapted for acquiring a phase-contrast image having a field of view larger than the detector size. The X-ray detector element (12) is displaceable and by the displacement of the X-ray detector (12) a phase-contrast image of the field of view is obtainable.

摘要： X-ray devices for Phase Contrast Imaging (PCI) are often built up with the help of gratings. For large field-of-views (FOV), production cost and complexity of these gratings could increase significantly as they need to have a focused geometry. Instead of a pure PCI with a large FOV, this invention suggests to combine a traditional absorption X-ray-imaging system with large-FOV with an insertable low-cost PCI system with small-FOV, The invention supports the user to direct the PCI system with reduced FOV to a region that he regards as most interesting for performing a PCI scan thus eliminating X-ray dose exposure for scanning regions not interesting for a radiologist. The PCI scan may be generated on the basis of local tomography.

摘要： The present invention relates to an X-ray imaging system and a method for differential phase—contrast imaging of an object. To improve calibration of differential phase—contrast imaging systems and the alignment of the gratings an X-ray imaging system is provided that comprises an X-ray emitting arrangement providing at least partially coherent X-ray radiation and an X-ray detection arrangement comprising a phase-shift diffraction grating, a phase analyzer grating, and an X-ray image detector, all arranged along an optical axis. For stepping, the gratings and/or the X-ray emitting arrangement are provided with at least two actuators arranged opposite to each other with reference to the optical axis. For calibration, calibration projections are acquired without an object, wherein, the emitted X-ray radiation or one of the gratings is stepwise displaced with a calibration displacement value. For examination, measurement projections are acquired with an object, wherein the emitted X-ray radiation or one of the gratings is stepwise displaced with a measurement, a calibration projection is associated to each of the measurement projections by registering the latter with the calibration projections.
