Phase-contrast micro-CT for intra-operative breast tumour margin assessment using a microfocus x-ray source and photon-counting detector

Michelle K. Croughan, Timur E. Gureyev, Jane Fox +5

Objective: Intra-operative tumour margin assessment during breast-conserving surgery requires rapid, high-resolution imaging of excised tissue, allowing the surgical team to take a…

Demonstrating a family of X-ray dark-field retrieval approaches on a common set of samples

Samantha J. Alloo, Ying Ying How, Jannis N. Ahlers +3

Sensitive to scattering from unresolved sample structures, the dark-field channel in full-field X-ray imaging provides complementary information to that offered by conventional att…

Single-exposure X-ray dark-field imaging via a dual-energy propagation-based setup

Jannis N. Ahlers, Konstantin M. Pavlov, Marcus J. Kitchen +10

X-ray dark-field imaging visualises scattering from sample microstructure, and has found application in medical and security contexts. While most X-ray dark-field imaging technique…

In vivo 4D x-ray dark-field lung imaging in mice

Ying Ying How, Nicole Reyne, Michelle K. Croughan +14

X-ray dark-field imaging is well-suited to visualizing the health of the lungs because the alveoli create a strong dark-field signal. However, time-resolved and tomographic (i.e.,…

Separating edges from microstructure in X-ray dark-field imaging: Evolving and devolving perspectives via the X-ray Fokker-Planck equation

Samantha J. Alloo, David M. Paganin, Michelle K. Croughan +3

A key contribution to X-ray dark-field (XDF) is X-ray diffusion by sample structures smaller than the imaging system's spatial resolution. However, some XDF techniques report that…

Correcting directional dark-field x-ray imaging artefacts using position-dependent image deblurring and attenuation removal

Michelle K Croughan, David M Paganin, Samantha J Alloo +4

In recent years, a novel x-ray imaging modality has emerged that reveals unresolved sample microstructure via a "dark-field image", which provides complementary information to conv…

Directional dark-field retrieval with single-grid x-ray imaging

Michelle K Croughan, Ying Ying How, Allan Pennings +1

Directional dark-field imaging is an emerging x-ray modality that is sensitive to unresolved anisotropic scattering from sub-pixel sample microstructures. A single-grid imaging set…

Fast implicit diffusive dark-field retrieval for single-exposure, single-mask x-ray imaging

Mario A. Beltran, David M. Paganin, Michelle K. Croughan +1

Complementary to conventional and phase X-ray radiography, dark-field imaging has become central in visualizing diffusive scattering signal due to the spatially-unresolved texture…

Accurate measures of regional lung air volumes from chest X-rays of small animals

D. W. O'Connell, K. S. Morgan, G. Ruben +10

We present a robust technique for calculating regional volume changes within the lung from X-ray radiograph sequences captured during ventilation, without the use of computed tomog…

Precise phase retrieval for propagation-based images using discrete mathematics

J. A. Pollock, K. S. Morgan, L. C. P. Croton +5

The ill-posed problem of phase retrieval in optics, using one or more intensity measurements, has a multitude of applications using electromagnetic or matter waves. Many phase retr…
