  • Patent number: 11150202
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging system includes the following. An X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source, a plurality of gratings, and an X-ray detector. An X-ray is irradiated from the X-ray source through the examined target which is an object and the plurality of gratings and to the X-ray detector to obtain a moire image necessary to generate the reconstructed image of the examined target. A first database shows, for each name or type of material, a correlation between information regarding a signal strength in the reconstructed image generated based on the moire image and quality information of the material included in the examined target. A controller estimates as the evaluation index the quality information in the examined target from the reconstructed image based on information regarding the input name or the type of material and input shape information and the first database.

  • Patent number: 10078058
    Abstract: An X-ray Talbot capturing apparatus is shown. A radiation source irradiates radiation through a plurality of gratings. A radiation detector captures a moire image. A holder which holds the gratings includes a receiving unit including a receiving surface with a curve and a pressing unit including a pressing surface with a curve. Each grating is held between the receiving surface and the pressing surface and bent in an arc shape with a point of the radiation source as a center. An elastic member is positioned between a first surface of the grating and the pressing surface or a second surface of the grating opposite of the first surface and the receiving surface. An opening is provided in the holder and the elastic member so as not to block radiation irradiated on the grating.
