Traditional Talbot-Lau X-ray Phase-Contrast tomography requires prior phase-retrieval based on - for instance stepping of the analyzer grating G2. Since several exposures per projection angle are required, high dose needs to be applied and simple integration into a continuously rotating gantry is cumbersome.
For the next step into clinical application it is desirable to have a tomographic reconstruction algorithm requiring only one phase-step per projection angle. Former work proposed a maximum-likelihood-based algorithm modeling the phase-contrast image formation process using the object's attenuation, refractive and small-angle scattering properties simultaneously, allowing tomographic reconstruction without the need of prior phase-retrieval by phase-stepping.
In this work we improve convergence using a smoothed initial reconstruction obtained by Filtered Backprojection of an interpolated estimation of the three sinograms: Absorption, differential phase-contrast and dark field. We demonstrate reconstruction of tomographic data acquired using a Talbot-Lau interferometer without phase-stepping with a polychromatic beam source.
