Preliminary Research on Dual-Energy X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging
, 2015 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has been widely applied to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and soft-tissue composition of human body. However, the use of DEXA is greatly limited for low-Z materials such as soft tissues due to their weak ...
