SEMINAR:
  CMCA Seminar Series: "X-ray phase contrast imaging using conventional sources" by Dr Peter Munro 
		
Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:00 - CMCA Seminar Room 1.80, Physics Building, Crawley Campus
		
Dr Peter Munro, DECRA Fellow, School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
Image contrast arises in conventional X-ray radiography due the
differential absorption of X-rays throughout the sample. Many objects of
interest, for example, soft biological tissue, possess weak absorption
contrast. Furthermore, by definition, absorption contrast is directly
correlated with the radiation dose received by the sample. X-ray phase
imaging was developed, initially using synchrotron radiation, in order
to overcome the limitation of weak absorption contrast. This technique
develops contrast based upon the difference in X-ray propagation times
through a sample, which, in general, results in greater contrast than
absorption based imaging. In this seminar I will discuss how X-ray phase
imaging can be performed using conventional X-ray sources such as those
used in clinics and give examples from a variety of fields including
mammography, non-destructive testing, security screening and small
animal imaging.
