Abstract

A multi-aperture analyser set-up was recently developed for X-ray phase contrast imaging and tomography, simultaneously attaining a high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. We present a single-shot image retrieval algorithm in which differential phase and dark-field images are extracted from a single intensity projection. Scanning of the object is required to build a two-dimensional image, because only one pre-sample aperture is used in the experiment reported here. A pure-phase object approximation and a hierarchical approach to the data analysis are used in order to overcome numerical instabilities. The single-shot capability reduces the exposure times by a factor of five with respect to the standard implementation and significantly simplifies the acquisition procedure by only requiring sample scanning during data collection.
