Incorporating a Noise Reduction Technique Into X-Ray Tensor Tomography.

X-ray tensor tomography (XTT) is a novel imaging modality for the three-dimensional reconstruction of X-ray scattering tensors from dark-field images obtained in a grating interferometry setup. The two-dimensional dark-field images measured in XTT are degraded by noise effects, such as detector readout noise and insufficient photon statistics, and consequently, the three-dimensional volumes recons...
