Imaging at X-ray backlighter allow to capture fast dynamic processes due to extremely short exposure times. Grating-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging is expected to observe plasma shocks with higher contrast than absorption-based imaging due to its sensitivity to the differential phase-shift caused by local electron density variation present in plasma shocks. These rapid processes place special demands on the imaging system consisting of two gratings and a detector. Optimising the setup promises improvements in photon noise and sensitivity. This can be achieved by optimising the gratings, their positions and the detector. In this contribution, a methodology for characterising X-ray detectors according to their resolution, sensitivity and noise in phase-contrast imaging is introduced.
