Abstract

Conclusions: The authors' results indicate that the assumptions made in former performance analyses are pessimistic. The break-even point, when phase-contrast CT outperforms attenuation CT, is within reach even with realistic, nonperfect gratings. Further improvements to state-of-the-art clinical CT scanners, like increasing the spatial resolution, could change the balance in favor of phase-contrast computed tomography even more. This could be done by, e.g., quantum-counting pixel detectors with four-fold smaller pixel pitches. (C) 2015 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
