Phase contrast imaging evaluated to improve lesion detectability
October 20th, 2005
Phase contrast imaging was evaluated as a means to improve detectability of lesions with mammography. According to a study from Japan, "It is well-known that the edge effect produced by phase contrast imaging results in the edge enhancement of x-ray images and thereby sharpens those images. It has recently been reported that phase contrast imaging using practical x-ray tubes with small focal spots has improved image sharpness as observed in the phase contrast imaging with x-ray from synchrotron radiation or micro-focus x-ray tubes." "In this study," S. Matsuo and colleagues "conducted the phase contrast imaging of a plastic fiber and plant seeds...
