Numerous advances have been made in X-ray technology in recent years. X-ray imaging plays an important role in the nondestructive exploration of the internal structures of objects. However, the contrast of X-ray absorption images remains low, especially for materials with low atomic numbers, such as biological samples. X-ray phase-contrast images have an intrinsically higher contrast than absorption images. In this review, the principles, milestones, and recent progress of X-ray phase-contrast imaging methods are demonstrated. In addition, prospective applications are presented.

A full-field hard X-ray imaging beamline (BL-4) was designed, developed, installed and commissioned recently at the Indus-2 synchrotron radiation source at RRCAT, Indore, India. The bending-magnet beamline is operated in monochromatic and white beam mode. A variety of imaging techniques are implemented such as high-resolution radiography, propagation- and analyzer-based phase contrast imaging, real-time imaging, absorption and phase contrast tomographyetc. First experiments on propagation-based phase contrast imaging and micro-tomography are reported.

X-ray phase contrast imaging is a promising technique in X-ray biological microscopy, as it improves the contrast of images for materials with low electron density compared to traditional X-ray imaging. The spatial resolution is an important parameter to evaluate the image quality. In this paper, simulation of factors which may affect the spatial resolution in a typical 2D grating–based phase contrast imaging system is conducted. This simulation is based on scalar diffraction theory and the operator theory of imaging. Absorption, differential phase contrast, and dark-field images are retrieved via the Fourier transform method. Furthermore, the limitation of the grating-to-detector distance in the spatial harmonic method is discussed in detail.

Contrast Mechanism

X-ray imaging is of paramount importance for clinical and preclinical imaging but it is fundamentally restricted by the attenuation-based contrast mechanism, which has remained essentially the same since Roentgen's discovery a century ago. Recently, based on the Talbot effect, groundbreaking work was reported using 1D gratings for X-ray phase-contrast imaging with a hospital-grade X-ray tube instead of a synchrotron or microfocused source. In this paper, we report an extension using 2D gratings that reduces the imaging time and increases the accuracy and robustness of phase retrieval compared to current grating-based phase-contrast techniques. Feasibility is demonstrated via numerical simulation.
