A new large X-ray interferometer was created to improve phase-contrast imaging field of view. Performance tests confirmed its suitability for detailed imaging of biological samples, including cancer structures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • X-ray Interferometry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Phase-contrast X-ray imaging offers enhanced soft-tissue contrast.
  • Existing X-ray interferometers often have limited fields of view for large objects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate and evaluate a large monolithic X-ray interferometer.
  • To assess its performance for phase-contrast X-ray imaging of biological samples.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a large monolithic X-ray interferometer from a 10 cm silicon ingot.
  • Performance evaluation using a synchrotron X-ray source.
  • Imaging of a sliced human hepatocellular carcinoma sample.

Main Results:

  • The interferometer achieved an interference pattern view size of 25 mm x 15 mm.

  • An interference pattern visibility of 79% was recorded.
  • Necrosis, hemorrhagic necrosis, normal liver tissue, and blood vessels were successfully identified in the sample.

    • Conclusions:

    • The fabricated large X-ray interferometer is suitable for phase-contrast imaging.
    • The device enables a larger field of view for imaging macroscopic objects.
    • This technology shows promise for detailed biological and medical imaging applications.
