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…

High-energy X-ray phase-contrast CT of an adult human chest phantom

Jannis N. Ahlers, Lorenzo D'Amico, Henriette Bast +15

Propagation-based phase-contrast X-ray imaging is a promising technique for in~vivo medical imaging, offering lower radiation doses than traditional attenuation-based imaging. Prev…

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…
