Abstract

X-ray phase CT has a lot of applications, including non-destructive testing and field of medicine because it can observe small differences in material density than conventional X-ray absorption CT. However, artifacts unique to phase CT may appear in conventional method. Therefore, we propose a new method for reconstructing CT volume from two-directional differential phase contrast images by solving the Poisson equation. Our method reduces artifacts in air regions and improves image quality in some cases.
