Coherence-enhanced synchrotron radiology: simple theory and practical applications

The advanced characteristics of synchrotron x-ray sources make it possible to implement radiology with powerful and innovative approaches. We review in simple terms the conceptual background of such approaches, then we present a number of selected examples. The practical tests concern life-sciences specimens as well as materials-science systems.
