Abstract
A medical instrument is provided for use with a phase contrast imaging. The medical instrument includes at least one component, which has a strong small angle scattering of x-rays. Furthermore, a corresponding x-ray recording system with phase contrast imaging for recording an examination object may include such a medical instrument.
Claims18
A medical instrument for use with a phase contrast imaging, comprising:
- at least one component which has a strong small angle scattering of x-rays.
An x-ray recording system having phase contrast imaging for recording an examination object and a medical instrument, comprising:
- an x-ray device for x-ray imaging of an examination object by means of direct measurement of an interference pattern using at least one x-ray emitter for generating almost coherent x-rays,
- an x-ray image detector, comprising a detector layer and detector pixels arranged in a matrix,
- a diffraction or phase grating, which is arranged between the examination object and the x-ray image detector and generates an interference pattern,
- wherein the medical instrument includes at least one component which exhibits a strong small angle scattering of x-rays.
