Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray imaging apparatus (2), comprising: a source (4) for generating X-ray radiation, an object receiving space (6) for arranging an object of interest for X-ray imaging, an X-ray collimator arrangement (8) arranged between the source (4) and the collimator arrangement (8), and an X-ray mirror arrangement (10). The mirror arrangement (10) comprises for example two tapered mirrors (22) facing each other and adapted for guiding X-ray radiation of the source (4) to the collimator arrangement (8). Consequently, the X-ray intensity at the object receiving space (6) is increased. In order to limit the X-ray radiation to an area, where the X-ray radiation can be utilized form imaging, an angle of spread Θm between the mirrors (22) and a length LM of each mirror (22) is adapted, such that a number of total reflections of X-ray radiation, provided by the source (4), at the mirrors (22) is limited. The limitation provides the effect that an angle of reflection Θr of the totally reflected X-ray radiation is limited. Consequently, an X-ray intensity at the object receiving space (6) is increased while constrains are provided, which prevent a large increase of a width of the X-ray radiation provided at the object receiving space (6), which effectively improves an imaging quality of an object of interest being arrangeable at the object receiving space (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (31) for generating spectral computed tomography projection data. A spectral projection data generation device (6) comprising an energy-resolving detector generates spectral computed tomography projection databased on polychromatic radiation (4), which has been provided by a radiation device (2), after having traversed an examination zone (5), and a reference values generation device generates energy-dependent reference values based on radiation, which has not traversed the examination zone. A spectral parameter providing unit (12) provides a spectral parameter being indicative of a spectral property of the radiation device based on the energy-dependent reference values. In particular, spectral properties of the radiation device can be monitored over time, wherein this information can be used for, for instance, correcting the spectral computed tomography projection data, and/or, if undesired spectral properties of the radiation device are indicated, triggering a replacement of the radiation device.

Abstract: A grating based interferometric X-ray imaging apparatus having an interferometer (IF). The interferometer comprises at least one grating (G1). The grating (G1) is tiltable relative to an optical axis of the X-ray imaging apparatus. This allows changing a design energy of the X-ray imaging apparatus.
