Evaluation of an In-line Phase-Contrast and Phase Shift Digital Tomosynthesis System

In the first part of this dissertation, I look at (1) the possibility of using a conventional x-ray source for phase-contrast digital tomosynthesis, (2) that the reconstructed tomosynthesis images demonstrate and retain the edge enhancement as compared to planar phase-contrast radiographs, and (3) t...
