A detailed investigation of the astrophysical processes in, e.g. supernova remnants, requires the production of plasma shocks in a laboratory setting. For this purpose, laser-induced shocks in a plasma have been simulated with a laser-plasma code. Subsequent simulations of the imaging process with an X-ray phase-contrast setup have been run and the detector images have been used for phase retrieval which eventually yields the electron density distribution of the plasma. This contribution discusses the feasibility of this concept prior to a potential realization in the laboratory.
