“…With the introduction of Talbot-Lau imaging to the laboratory by Pfeiffer et al [50,49], many more examples have been shown. Applications of X-ray darkfield imaging besides the characterization of micro-calcifications in mammography [38,15] include imaging of lungs [71,61,17,32], characterization of bone and dentin [51,43,27,26,21] as well as the analysis of general porous and fibrous materials or microscopic defects in the field of non destructive testing [54,24,16]. Other applications that have been shown include water transport in cement [52,70] or the monitoring of germinating seeds [44].…”
