Between x-ray tube sources and synchrotrons, a large gap in performance exists with respect to brilliance and coherence of the x-ray beam. Compact synchrotron sources could fill this gap in the near future. In this thesis, the unique beam properties of the Munich Compact Light Source (MuCLS) are exploited for grating-based phase-contrast and dark-field tomographic imaging and mammography, as well as coronary angiography. The presented results highlight the potential of compact synchrotron sources for biomedical imaging and pre-clinical research.
