Microbubbles as a contrast agent in grating interferometry mammography: an ex vivo proof-of-mechanism study

Abstract Grating interferometry mammography (GIM) is an experimental breast imaging method at the edge of being clinically implemented. Besides attenuation, GIM can measure the refraction and scattering of x-rays resulting in differential phase contrast (DPC) and dark-field (DF) images. In this expl...
