X-ray phase-contrast radiography and tomography with a multi-aperture analyser

Abstract

We present a multi-aperture analyser set-up for performing X-ray phase contrast imaging in planar and three-dimensional modalities. A multi-slice representation of the sample is used to establish a quantitative relation between projection images and the corresponding three-dimensional distributions, leading to successful tomographic reconstruction. Sample absorption, phase and scattering are retrieved from the measurement of five intensity projections. The method is experimentally tested on custom built phantoms with synchrotron radiation: sample absorption and phase can be reliably retrieved also in combination with strong scatterers, simultaneously offering high sensitivity and dynamic range.
