Abstract

The internal structure of materials with a low scattering power and small density gradient was investigated using a new method of phase contrast x-ray introscopy. Model calculations were made of the contrast image using dynamic x-ray diffraction theory. The object of the investigation was a capillary containing a blood clot, which modeled a blood vessel with a thrombus. As a result, it was shown that the new method has distinct advantages over the conventionally used absorption method in obtaining completely satisfactory images.
