Propagation-based phase-contrast x-ray imaging (PB-PCXI) is a useful technique for imaging weakly attenuating samples, providing better contrast than conventional attenuation-based imaging. In this study, a PB-PCXI algorithm is proposed to extract the x-ray attenuation and refraction information of complex materials from an unknown sample, without prior information. The algorithm involves curve fitting an error-function-based model to a phase-retrieved interface, allowing for the calculation of true attenuation and refraction values.
Propagation-based phase-contrast x-ray imaging (PB-PCXI) generates image contrast by utilizing sample-imposed phase-shifts. This has proven useful when imaging weakly attenuating samples, as conventional attenuation-based imaging does not always provide adequate contrast. We present a PB-PCXI algorithm capable of extracting the x-ray attenuation beta and refraction delta, components of the complex refractive index of distinct materials within an unknown sample. The method involves curve fitting an error-function-based model to a phase-retrieved interface in a PB-PCXI tomographic reconstruction, which is obtained when Paganin-type phase retrieval is applied with incorrect values of delta and beta. The fit parameters can then be used to calculate true delta and beta values for composite materials. This approach requires no a priori sample information, making it broadly applicable. Our PB-PCXI reconstruction is single-distance, requiring only one exposure per tomographic angle, which is important for radiosensitive samples. We apply this approach to a breast-tissue sample, recovering the refraction component delta, with 0.6-2.4% accuracy compared with theoretical values. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
