Abstract
X-ray dark field imaging (XDFI)[1] comprises a monochromator-collimator, specimen and a Laue angle analyzer (LAA). This optics uses a specified thickness of LAA for the specified x-ray energy. This has been applied to 2D images of human soft tissues and it was extended to 3D images of soft breast tissues by creation of algorithm [2] applicable to refraction based x-ray imaging. The XDFI technique can be used in clinical regular check and since this technique can visualize tissue in 3D mode by creative algorithms [3,4] this can assist pathological work. Recently all images of human typical soft tissues were published [5]. A chapter “Medical Application” is in press [6]. Furthermore we are developing a system for clinical use and for pathological use.
