| Phase Contrast Tomography Conventional X-ray imaging is based on the attenuation of X-rays propagating
through the object of interest. Hereby one exploits the imaginary part of the
complex refractive index of the object. The real part of the refractive index,
however, leads to a phase shift (usually a phase advance for the X-ray energy
range) between a wave-front passing a material and an undisturbed wave-front.
Our goal is to develop the grating-based interferometer further so that it can
be used in a medical environment. | Project manager:
