Background:

Quantitative x-ray phase contrast imaging relies heavily on accurate phase retrieval.
Existing methods often require multiple exposures or complex setups.
Photon-counting detectors offer spectral information that can be leveraged.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an iterative method for simultaneous retrieval of x-ray absorption and phase images from a single exposure.
To utilize the energy-resolving capability of photon-counting detectors for enhanced phase retrieval.
To improve contrast-to-noise ratios in quantitative x-ray phase contrast imaging.

Main Methods:

An iterative retrieval method was developed, utilizing spectrally resolved phase contrast images from a single x-ray exposure.
The method separates contributions from photoelectric absorption and Compton scattering to attenuation.
The Phase Attenuation Duality (PAD) algorithm and Fresnel propagation were employed for iterative reconstruction.

Main Results:

The iterative method successfully retrieved both absorption and phase images simultaneously from a single x-ray exposure.
Experimental validation with a multi-material phantom demonstrated the method's speed, accuracy, and robustness to noise.
Significant enhancement in contrast-to-noise ratios was observed in the retrieved images.

Conclusions:

The proposed iterative method offers a fast, accurate, and robust solution for simultaneous x-ray absorption and phase retrieval.
Leveraging spectrally resolved data from photon-counting detectors significantly improves quantitative phase contrast imaging.
This approach provides enhanced contrast-to-noise ratios, advancing the capabilities of x-ray imaging techniques.
