Volumetric Visualization Of X-RAY Phase Contrast Computed Tomography

POSTER

Abstract

X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) utilizes the wave properties of X-rays to capture high-contrast radiographs of objects consisting of low-density materials that yield low-contrast, uninformative images. Combining XPCI with computed tomography (CT) enables the collection of high-contrast volumetric data of those low-density objects. We investigate the possibilities of rendering and examining the resulting data using three-dimensional (3D) visualization techniques and virtual reality (VR).
