Spectroscopic measurements concerning grating-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging

We present energy-dependent measurement results, regarding grating-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging. These were done using a Talbot grating interferometer according to the proposal made by Weitkamp et al.1 using a commercial microfocus X-ray tube producing a standard tungsten spectrum and a Talbot-Lau grating interferometer with a medical X-ray tube. The spectroscopic, pixelated, photon-counting Timepix detector was used for photon detection. Using these setups, we measured the visibilities for different energies at different source to phase-grating distances. These results showed a constant maximum visibility, shifting to higher energies increasing the distance. This behaviour can be explained by changing the distance leads to a change in the setup's effective design energy. The results also showed that the expected drop of visibility for a misaligned setup does not take place when a polychromatic X-ray source is used. Additionally, images obtained with phase-contrast imaging at different energy thresholds are presented and evaluated. This knowledge about the energy-dependency of the setup's parameters will help to optimise X-ray phase-contrast imaging towards the clinical application.
