In this thesis, the development of grating-based x-ray phase-contrast and dark-field imaging is driven towards
in vivo applicability. It deals with signal-recovery and reconstruction algorithms to facilitate projection and computed tomography (CT) imaging using a prototype tomograph with a rotating gantry under
in vivo compatible conditions. As a result, the milestone of first radiographs and CT images of living mice is reached, in which the dark-field signal shows promising information gain for pulmonary disorders. Moreover, the potential of microbubbles as dedicated contrast agents for dark-field contrast enhancement is evaluated.
