Abstract

PURPOSE: Statistical photon noise has always been a common problem in X-ray multi-contrast imaging and significantly influenced the quality of retrieved differential phase and dark-field images. We intend to develop a deep learning-based denoising algorithm to reduce the noise of retrieved X-ray differential phase and dark-field images.
