Abstract(in English) Even for hard X-rays, X-ray phase information allows image formation with higher contrast for such a biological soft tissue, which cannot be sufficiently delineated by conventional absorption-based imaging. To generate projection data from raw fringe pattern images in the process of this CT image reconstruction procedures, frequently 2π-phase jump must be corrected, i.e., the phase unwrapping. However, it is difficult to obtain the satisfactory corrections for noisy fringe pattern images. In previous attempt, regarding the phase unwrapping as a combinatorial optimization, we have proposed a robust phase-unwrapping algorithm for phase-contrast X-ray CT by using genetic algorithm. However, the cost of calculation has the severe problem, because it takes several hours. Here, we have proposed an improvement of GA procedure for shortening of processing time by applying these procedure on divided local area. The validity of this method is demonstrated and discussed experimentally.
