Figure 1
(a) The chest phantom (p) with an inflated porcine lung mounted on top of the rotational stage (r) in front of the beam outlet (b). (b) Maximum intensity projection of five consecutive slices of a reconstructed local area acquisition on the periphery of the right lower lung lobe (after phase retrieval) is shown. The phase contrast allows a detailed depiction of airways, pulmonary blood vessels and interlobular septa (white arrow). (f) indicates the front cover of the phantom, (d) marks the artificial diaphragm and (i) depicts a silicon injection port. Scale bar in (b) = 10 mm. |
