Embodiment Construction

[0038] The examples in the drawings are schematic and not to scale. In different figures, similar or identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

[0039] Figure 1A The measurement setup for differential phase-contrast imaging with linear gratings is shown. An incoherent X-ray source is used, represented by a focal spot 101 . The radiation beam emitted by the source has an optical axis 4 . First, the beam passes through the absorbing grating 1 (G 0 ). The beam then passes through the object of interest 103 and then through the phase grating 2 (G 1 ). Thereafter, the beam passes through a second absorption grating 3 (G 2 ), the second absorption grating 3 (G 2 ) is arranged before the imaging detector 102.

[0040] Reference numeral 5 depicts an x-axis, reference numeral 6 depicts a y-axis, and reference numeral 7 depicts a z-axis, which is arranged parallel to the optical axis 4 .

Abstract

The invention relates to an X-ray differential phase-contrast imaging system which has three circular gratings. The circular gratings are aligned with the optical axis of the radiation beam and a phase stepping is performed along the optical axis with the focal spot, the phase grating and/or the absorber grating. The signal measured is the phase-gradient in radial direction away from the optical axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to phase contrast imaging. In particular, the invention relates to a phase contrast imaging device, a phase contrast imaging method, a computer readable medium and a program element for examining an object of interest. Background technique [0002] To examine an object of interest with electromagnetic radiation, visible or invisible light or X-rays can be used. The method disclosed in "Phase retrieval and differential phase-contrast imaging with low-brilliance X-ray sources" by Pfeiffer et al., Nature Physics 2006, in the field of X-ray differential phase-contrast imaging (DPC) is based on an extension of Talbot interferometry. This extension includes the addition of a third grating that allows the use of polychromatic X-ray spectroscopy. Gratings used in this technique are formed from a linear groove arrangement, as depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2 . Detection of intensity variations via phase stepping allows measurement of t...
