Quantitative analysis of the field of view for X-ray differential phase contrast imaging

Grating-based X-ray differential phase contrast imaging provides excellent image contrast for low-Z objects that cannot be acquired by conventional X-ray imaging, which has great potential applications in the early diagnosis of cancer and non-destructive detections of low-Z materials and devices. Large field of view imaging is a crucial factor for this technology from the laboratory to practical application. For the objective need of large field of view, on the basis of the Fresnel diffraction theory and the structure characteristics of gratings, we establish a quantitative physical model to analyze the factors that affect the imaging field of view and give a feasible way for large imaging field of view. This work provides a theoretical basis for the large field of view grating-based X-ray differential phase contrast imaging in the future.
