Bent Crystals for Diffraction Enhanced X Ray Imaging with a Divergent Source

摘要

Phase sensitive X ray imaging methods have been recently developed. Diffraction Enhanced X ray Imaging technique has proved to offer valuable advantages when applied in mammography using Synchrotron Radiation. It is our interest to apply this technique using a X ray tube, which has an angular aperture of 20°. The requirements for a suitable optical system are discussed.
