TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the soft tissue sensitivity of the technique is increased and in vitro tomographic images of a tumor bearing rat brain sample are shown, without use of contrast agents.

TL;DR: The paper highlights the history of MRT including salient biological findings after microbeam irradiation with emphasis on the vascular components and the tolerance of the central nervous system and details on experimental and theoretical dosimetry of microbeams, core issues and possible therapeutic applications of M RT are presented.

TL;DR: Although the method still relies on phase stepping, it effectively uses only down to a single detector frame per projection angle and yields images corresponding to all three contrast modalities, which means that dark-field imaging remains accessible.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the instrumentation for the imaging facility at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) for medical research programs, including intravenous coronary angiography and computed tomography (CT).

TL;DR: The results of this first animal study indicate that KES imaging of lungs with Xe gas as a contrast agent has great potential in studies of the distribution of ventilation within the lungs and of airway function, including airways with a small diameter.
