Abstract

X-ray imaging is of paramount importance for clinical and pre-clinical applications but it is fundamentally restricted by the attenuation-based contrast mechanism, which has remained essentially the same since Roentgen's discovery a century ago. Recently, based on the Talbot effect, groundbreaking work was reported using 1D gratings for x-ray phase-contrast imaging with a hospital-grade x-ray tube instead of a synchrotron or micro-focused source. In this paper, we report an extension of our earlier 2D-grating-based work to the case of Gaussian beams. This 2D-grating-based approach has the potential to reduce the imaging time, increase the spatial coherence, and enhance the accuracy and robustness compared to current 1D-grating-based phase-contrast imaging techniques.
