[DOI: 10.1117/1.JMI.4.4.040901] abstract: Edge illumination (EI) is an X-ray phase contrast imaging technique, exploiting sensitivity to X-ray refraction in order to visualize features which are often not detected by conventional, absorption-based radiography. 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. date: 2017-10 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/1.JMI.4.4.040901 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type: review verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1423444 doi: 10.1117/1.JMI.4.4.040901 lyricists_name: Diemoz, Paul lyricists_name: Endrizzi, Marco lyricists_name: Hagen, Charlotte lyricists_name: Olivo, Alessandro lyricists_name: Vittoria, Fabio lyricists_name: Zamir, Anna lyricists_id: PCDIE01 lyricists_id: MENDR57 lyricists_id: CKHAG69 lyricists_id: AOLIV86 lyricists_id: VITTO07 lyricists_id: AZAMI21 actors_name: Olivo, Alessandro actors_id: AOLIV86 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Medical Imaging volume: 4 number: 4 article_number: 040901 issn: 0920-5497 citation: Zamir, A; Hagen, C; Diemoz, P; Endrizzi, M; Vittoria, F; Chen, Y; Anastasio, M; Zamir, A; Hagen, C; Diemoz, P; Endrizzi, M; Vittoria, F; Chen, Y; Anastasio, M; Olivo, A; - view fewer <#> (2017) Recent advances in edge illumination X-ray phase contrast tomography.
