Diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) is an x-ray-based imaging modality that yields image contrast from the absorption, scattering, and refraction of x-rays. Particularly because of its ability to extract refraction contrast, even from low-density materials, it has proven to be a powerful tool for the imaging of soft tissue features. DEI has already shown significant contrast-to-noise ratio gains over conventional radiography for the imaging of soft tissue in mammography and cartilage, and, most recently has shown the ability to image amyloid beta plaques in the excised brains of a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Connor will discuss the contrast mechanisms of DEI, summarize the existing research, and point towards future developments in both synchrotron-based and x-ray-tube-based DEI systems.
