Abstract:
This paper explores mouse kidney imaging with diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) and inline outline X-ray imaging (IOXI) technology, and evaluates latent value of kidney imaging with phase contrast imaging technology. In our experiment, spatial resolution and tissue contrast serve as element evaluation and comparison. Images obtained from our experiment exhibit clearly observable contrasts and high resolution, suggesting X-RAY and IOXO are suitable for capturing kidney images. Also, further comparison shows IOXO has a better performance than DEI in capturing microstructures.
