Moiré artifact reduction in grating interferometry using multiple harmonics and total variation regularization [PDF]
Scientific ReportsX-ray interferometry is an emerging imaging modality with a wide variety of potential clinical applications, including lung imaging. A grating interferometer uses a diffraction grating to produce a periodic interference pattern and measures how a patient

An electron Talbot interferometer
New Journal of Physics, 2009 The Talbot effect, in which a wave imprinted with transverse periodicity reconstructs itself at regular intervals, is a diffraction phenomenon that occurs in many physical systems. Here we present the first observation of the Talbot effect for electron de Broglie waves behind a nanofabricated transmission grating.

The choice of an autocorrelation length in dark-field lung imaging [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Respiratory diseases are one of the most common causes of death, and their early detection is crucial for prompt treatment. X-ray dark-field radiography (XDFR) is a promising tool to image objects with unresolved micro-structures such as lungs.

Spectral X-ray dark-field signal characterization from dual-energy projection phase-stepping data with a Talbot-Lau interferometer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Material-selective analysis of spectral X-ray imaging data requires prior knowledge of the energy dependence of the observed signal. Contrary to conventional X-ray imaging, where the material-specific attenuation coefficient is usually precisely known ...

Exploration of the X-ray Dark-Field Signal in Mineral Building Materials [PDF]
Journal of Imaging, 2022 Mineral building materials suffer from weathering processes such as salt efflorescence, freeze–thaw cycling, and microbial colonization. All of these processes are linked to water (liquid and vapor) in the pore space. The degree of damage following these
