Abstract
We present an experimental comparison between two x-ray phase contrast imaging techniques currently under development, speckle-tracking and beam-tracking. The comparison is centred on the absorption and ultra-small-angle scattering signals retrieved with polychromatic radiation from homogeneous and inhomogeneous samples of different thicknesses. Our analysis shows that the ultra-small-angle scattering signal retrieved with speckle-tracking does not increase linearly with the thickness for the inhomogeneous sample, and is different from zero for the homogeneous sample. The results obtained from beam-tracking, instead, are in good agreement with expectation.
