Edge illumination X-ray phase contrast imaging with alternative gratings: dataset

This dataset contains results from Edge illumunation X-ray phase contrast simulations with alternative gratings, as shown in 'Setup.png' The simulations are performed with the monte-carlo software Gate. Postprocessing is done in Matlab. Four different grating geometries were simulated: Conventional, sheared, curved and folded gratings. As phantom, a row of Aluminum cylinders is chosen. The simulation parameters can be found in the excel-file 'Simulation_parameters.xlsx'. The folder 'gate' contains the macros that where used for the monte carlo-simulation. The folder 'matlab' contains the results of post-processing in matlab for each grating geometry. They can be opened with the file 'results_script.m The folder 'results' contains images of the results for each geometry, including, flatfield, projection, threefold contrast and fitting parameters.
