Abstract

BL-14 at the Photon Factory, Japan is a characteristic synchrotron radiation beamline where one can use a vertically polarized synchrotron radiation beam from a superconducting vertical wiggler with a field strength of 5 Tesla. One of the experimental stations, BL-14C, is dedicated to x-ray imaging such as x-ray phase-contrast CT using a large x-ray interferometer, x-ray diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI), DEI-CT and x-ray dark field imaging (DFI). The phase-contrast CT using an x-ray interferometer is sufficiently sensitive to evaluate small density differences in soft tissues and soft materials. Recent results on medical and industrial applications of phase-contrast CT using the large x-ray interferometer are reported by five papers in this special issue.
