A 3-D Projection Model for X-ray Dark-field Imaging [PDF]
Talbot-Lau X-ray phase-contrast imaging is a novel imaging modality, which provides not only an X-ray absorption image, but also additionally a differential phase image and a dark-field image. The dark-field image is related to small angle scattering and
