Energy correction for phase-contrast in Talbot-Lau X-ray imaging — •Manuel Kraus, Georg Pelzer, Gisela Anton, Jens Rieger, André Ritter, Ina Ritter, Johannes Wandner, Thilo Michel, and Thomas Weber — ECAP - Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erwin- Rommel-Straße 1, 91058 Erlangen

In grating based x-ray phasecontrast imaging the use of energy-resolving photon-counting detectors offer the opportunity not only to optimize the signal-to-noise-ratio for the phase-contrast images, but also to get quantitative values from the corrected phase-contrast images. Energy dependent correction factors were derived for the phase-contrast picture, tested with simulations and evaluated with measurements using the Dosepix detector.
