TY - JOUR TI - Edge illumination X-ray phase tomography of multi-material samples using a single-image phase retrieval algorithm AV - public Y1 - 2017/05/15/ EP - 11996 KW - Science & Technology KW - Physical Sciences KW - Optics KW - CODED-APERTURE KW - CONTRAST KW - RESOLUTION N2 - In this paper we present a single-image phase retrieval algorithm for multi-material samples, developed for the edge illumination (EI) X-ray phase contrast imaging method. The theoretical derivation is provided, along with any assumptions made. The algorithm is evaluated quantitatively using both simulated and experimental results from a computed tomography (CT) scan using the EI laboratory implementation. Qualitative CT results are provided for a biological sample containing both bone and soft-tissue. Using a single EI image per projection and knowledge of the complex refractive index, the algorithm can accurately retrieve the interface between a given pair of materials. A composite CT slice can be created by splicing together multiple CT reconstructions, each retrieved for a different pair of materials.
