A software platform for phase contrast x-ray breast imaging research
A simulation platform dedicated for PhC x-ray breast imaging research is developed. Various in complexity phantoms for PhC (from simple cuboids to anthropomorphic breasts) are modelled. Generation of PhC images from thick objects (breast models) is now feasible. Simulation results are validated against measurements performed at ESRF. Experimental studies on PhC may be optimized in advance.
