A PSI/KTH team presents a comparison, for high-resolution imaging, between grating-based (GBI) and propagation-based x-ray (PBI) phase-contrast imaging, using a MetalJet x-ray source from Excillum. Using polychromatic radiation, in experiments and simulations, PBI shows a lower dose requirment, while GBI shows an advantage when it comes to quantitative refractive index reconstruction for multi-material samples.
