Abstract

We demonstrate phase contrast enhancement of X-ray computed tomography derived from propagation based imaging. In this method, the absorption and phase components are assumed to be correlated, allowing for phase retrieval from a single image. Experimental results are shown for liquid samples. Signal-to-noise ratio is greatly enhanced relative to pure attenuation based imaging.
