Abstract: Phase contrast and dark‐field imaging are relatively new X‐ray imaging modalities that provide additional information to conventional attenuation‐based imaging. However, this new information comes at the price of a more complex acquisition scheme and optical components. Among the different techniques available, such as grating interferometry or edge illumination, modulation‐based and more generally single‐mask/grid imaging techniques simplify these new procedures to obtain phase and dark‐field images by shifting the experimental complexity to the numerical post‐processing side. This family of techniques involves inserting a membrane into the X‐ray beam that locally modulates the intensity to create a pattern on the detector which serves as a reference. However, the topological nature of the mask used seems to determine the quality of the reconstructed phase and dark‐field images. We present in this article an in‐depth study of the impact of the membrane parameters used in a single‐mask imaging approach. A spiral topology seems to be an optimum both in terms of resolution and contrast‐to‐noise ratio compared with random and regular patterns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
