Springer, 2021. — 350 p. — (Springer Theses). — ISBN 978-3-030-66328-5.Рентгеновское фазово-контрастное изображение с использованием спеклов ближнего поляThis thesis presents research on novel X-ray imaging methods that improve the study of specimens with small density differences, revealing their inner structure and density distribution. Exploiting the phase shift of X-rays in a material can significantly increase the image contrast compared to conventional absorption imaging. This thesis provides a practical guide to X-ray phase-contrast imaging with a strong focus on X-ray speckle-based imaging, the most recently developed phase-sensitive method.
