On imaging capabilities of the Imaging and Medical beamline at the Australian Synchrotron

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: Several propagation-based and analyser-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging experiments with over 100 m between the imaged objects and the detector were carried out at the Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) of the Australian Synchrotron. These experiments were aimed at characterization of possible phase-contrast imaging setups at IMBL. Effects of the beam divergence, polychromaticity and X-ray source size on the contrast and spatial resolution of images were evaluated quantitatively in different imaging scenarios. The results of this work will be used for improving the existing and developing new imaging capabilities at the beamline. Applications to X-ray phase-contrast tomography of biomedical samples, particularly for medical breast cancer imaging, are briefly discussed.
