Imaging liver lesions using grating-based phase-contrast computed tomography with bi-lateral filter post-processing.

X-ray phase-contrast imaging shows improved soft-tissue contrast compared to standard absorption-based X-ray imaging. Especially the grating-based method seems to be one promising candidate for clinical implementation due to its extendibility to standard laboratory X-ray sources. Therefore the purpo...
