采用吸收修正Bronnikov算法的有机复合样品的X射线显微计算机层析研究

有机复合样品如大多数由低原子序数物质构成的多聚物组合材料、生物软组织等具有混合相位和振幅特性,采用传统吸收计算机层析(CT)或纯相位重构算法难以达到较高密度分辨的目的。采用基于吸收修正的Bronnikov相位恢复算法的X射线同轴相衬CT技术对高分子混合组份材料和药物医学样品进行了实验研究。结果表明该相位恢复算法可以实现多聚物组合材料的无损分辨和精确测量,能够清晰辨别各组份材料的电子密度分布;验证了药物样品多孔性结构三维测量的可行性,能够有效提供孔隙测量的阈值选择。该方法在材料科学尤其是聚合物组合材料、泡沫多孔材料都会发挥很好的作用;单距的低辐射优势,尤其适用于生物医学样品三维无损成像。     

Phase retrieval for hard X-ray computed tomography of samples with hybrid compositions

X-ray tomography of samples containing both weakly and strongly absorbing materials are necessary in material and biomedical imaging. Extending the validity of the phase-attenuation duality (PAD) method, the propagation-based phase-contrast computed tomography (PPCT) of a sample with hybrid compositions of both the light and dense components with 60 keV of synchrotron radiation is investigated. The experimental results show that the PAD-based PPCT is effective in imaging both the weakly and strongly absorbing components simultaneously. Compared with the direct PPCT technique, the PAD-based PPCT technique demonstrates its excellent capability in material discrimination and characterization. In addition, the PAD-based PPCT exhibits a striking performance on the image contrast enhancement and noise suppression. Therefore, this technique is useful for material and biomedical imaging applications, especially when the radiation dose involved imposes a serious constraint.     

Atomic pair distribution function method development at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility

The atomic pair distribution function(PDF) reveals the interatomic distance in a material directly in real-space. It is a very powerful method to characterize the local structure of materials. With the help of the third generation synchrotron facility and spallation neutron source worldwide, the PDF method has developed quickly both experimentally and theoretically in recent years. Recently this method was successfully implemented at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF). The data quality is very high and this ensures the applicability of the method to study the subtle structural changes in complex materials. In this article, we introduce in detail this new method and show some experimental data we collected.     

上海光源先进成像技术及应用

<正>由于X射线波长比可见光短得多,用它来进行成像时,在理论上分辨率要比可见光高2~4个量级。而且X射线的穿透性较强,可对厚样品的内部结构进行无损检测,这是其他各种显微术所不具备的。自从伦琴1895年发现X射线以来,传统的X射线成像技术已有上百年的历史,已成为医学、生物学
