Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We discuss the usefulness of the refraction contrast method using highly parallel X-rays as a new approach to minute lung cancer detection. Advantages of refraction contrast images are discussed in terms of contrast compared with absorption images. We simulated refraction contrast imaging using globules with the density of water in the air as models for minute lung cancer detection. The contrast intensified by bright and dark lines was compared on a globule with the contrast of absorption images. We adopted the Monte Carlo Simulation to determine the strength of profile curve of the photon counts at the detector.
