Journal ArticleDOI
Phase retrieval in X-ray phase-contrast imaging suitable for tomography
TL;DR: This work outlines derivations, approximations and assumptions, and shows which methods are similar or identical and how they relate to each other, and performs numerical phase-retrieval for all methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speckle-based x-ray phase-contrast and dark-field imaging with a laboratory source.
Irene Zanette,Tunhe Zhou,Anna Burvall,Ulf Lundström,Daniel H. Larsson,Marie-Christine Zdora,Pierre Thibault,Franz Pfeiffer,Hans M. Hertz +8 more
TL;DR: Algorithms for phase and dark-field imaging using speckle tracking are introduced, and it is shown that they yield superior results with respect to existing methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axicon - the Most Important Optical Element
TL;DR: In this article, the authors celebrated the 50th anniversary of the formal naming of the axicon, which generated vivid discussions and disagreements, often of fundamental importance to our understanding of optics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 24 keV liquid-metal-jet x-ray source for biomedical applications
TL;DR: The high photon energy compared to existing liquid-metal-jet sources increases the penetration depth and allows imaging of thicker samples and the applicability of the source in the biomedical field is demonstrated by high-resolution imaging of a mammography phantom and a phase-contrast angiography phantom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linearity of the pyramid wavefront sensor.
TL;DR: It is shown that both the sinusoidal and the approximate linear relationship between wavefront derivative and wavefront sensor response can be derived rigorously from diffraction theory.
