X-ray dark-field radiography facilitates the diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in a mouse model

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate whether diagnosing pulmonary fibrosis with projection radiography can be improved by using X-ray dark-field radiograms. Pulmonary X-ray transmission and dark-field images of C57Bl/6N mice, either treated with bleomycin to induce pulmonary fibrosis or PB...
