It focuses on research to improve radiography, and particularly mammography applications, by using a novel X-ray imaging modality that exploits the wave-nature of X-rays, rather than just their absorption in tissue. Further, it explores a broad range of potential applications - from the assessment of breast cancer and the evaluation of microcalcification clusters, to the examination of renal stones. X-ray imaging is an indispensable tool in modern medical diagnostics, and ranges from simple radiography applications to advanced CT imaging protocols. This novel phase-contrast approach has the potential to deliver significantly improved diagnostic information, also and especially in cases where mammography is used for screening purposes. The thesis is based on several studies conducted by the author - working in close interdisciplinary cooperation with medical doctors at two university clinics in Munich - and successfully demonstrates this diagnostic potential in pre-clinical experiments. 000755804 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000755804 650_0 $$aBreast$$xRadiography. 000755804 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aScherer, Kai Hermann$$tGrating-Based X-Ray Phase-Contrast Mammography$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2016$$z9783319395364 000755804 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000755804 852__ $$bebk 000755804 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-39537-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755804 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755804$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755804 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755804 980__ $$aBIB 000755804 982__ $$aEbook 000755804 983__ $$aOnline 000755804 994__ $$a92$$bISE
