X-ray phase-contrast CO2angiography for sub-10 μm vessel imaging
2012
Physics in Medicine and Biology
X-ray in-line phase contrast has recently been combined with CO 2 angiography for high-resolution small-animal vascular imaging at low radiation dose. In this paper we further investigate the potential and limitations of this method and demonstrate observation of vessels down to 8 μm in diameter, considerably smaller than the 60 μm previously reported. Our in-line phase-contrast imaging system is based on a liquid-metal-jet-anode x-ray source and utilizes free-space propagation to convert phase
