Comparison of the edge effects within the PBI data sets (a) at 7, 30 and 100 cm sample-to-detector distances. A clear increase of the edge effects can be seen with increasing distance. (b) The respective results from the TIE phase-retrieval algorithm (PhR) with a δ-to-β ratio optimized for lung soft tissue, therefore bone structures appear blurred. Besides a slight increased blurring at 100 cm the images look alike and present a higher contrast than the PBI data sets. Note that only the central part of the data is shown for convenience. The full reconstruction represents the entire cross section of the sample. |
