The method does not require a high degree of spatial coherence and is achromatic, and can therefore be implemented with both synchrotron radiation and commercial X-ray tubes. Using different retrieval algorithms, information about an object's attenuation, refraction and scattering properties can be obtained. In recent years, a theoretical framework has been developed that enables EI computed tomography (CT), and hence three dimensional imaging. This review provides a summary of these advances, covering the development of different image acquisition schemes, retrieval approaches and applications. These developments constitute an integral part in the transformation of EI CT into a widely spread imaging tool, for use in a range of fields.}, issn = {0920-5497}, author = {Zamir, A and Hagen, C and Diemoz, P and Endrizzi, M and Vittoria, F and Chen, Y and Anastasio, M and Olivo, A}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/1.JMI.4.4.040901}, keywords = {X-ray imaging, phase contrast, tomography, edge illumination} }
