DIFFERENTIAL PHASE-CONTRAST IMAGING WITH INCREASED DYNAMIC RANGE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G21K1/06 

Abstract RU 2596805 C2

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the means of X-ray differential phase-contrast imaging. In order to improve information obtained form phase-contrast images, analyzer grating (34) for X-ray differential phase-contrast imaging is supplied by absorption structure (48). Absorption structure comprises a first plurality (50) of first areas (52) with first X-ray attenuation and a second plurality (54) of second areas (56) with second X-ray attenuation. Wherein the second X-ray attenuation is smaller than the first X-ray attenuation, and the first and second areas are arranged periodically in an alternating manner. Third plurality (58) of third areas (60) is provided with a third X-ray attenuation, which lies in a range from the second X-ray attenuation to the first X-ray attenuation, wherein every second of the first or second areas is replaced by one of the third areas.

EFFECT: technical result is a quality increase of x-ray differential phase-contrast images.
