The basic principles and experimental set-ups for Edge Illumination and Beam Tracking X-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) are introduced, along with examples on key applications where phase-based imaging complements and advances the more conventional attenuation-based X-ray imaging. X-ray dark-field techniques are also discussed with an emphasis on the most recent developments on tomography and directional imaging. Results from laboratory-based prototypes are shown as well as an overview of the new Advanced X-ray Imaging (AXIm) laboratory, where lab-based XPCI techniques have recently become available to users through the National Research Facility for lab-based X-ray Computed Tomography (NXCT).
Professor Marco Endrizzi
Marco Endrizzi is Professor of Experimental Physics at the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering , University College London. He is part of the Advanced X-ray Imaging group, where X-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) techniques have been pioneered and developed for nearly two decades. His contributions include a method for X-ray dark-field imaging under incoherent illumination, hence suitable for laboratory settings as it is compatible with standard X-ray tubes. Dr. Endrizzi is co-Director of the National Research Facility for lab-based X-ray Computed Tomography (NXCT, https://nxct.ac.uk/), which makes the first lab-XPCI systems available to industry and the research community.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
