Low-dose phase-contrast X-ray imaging : a comparison of two methods

• Propagation- and grating-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging methods are compared theoretically. As a prospective application of phase-contrast methods in medical or small animal imaging, carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography is the simulated task. The required dose for the observable blood vessel is compared through simulation. The result indicates that the propagation-based method requires lower dose in this application.
