Abstract: X-ray dark-field imaging is useful in visualising the health of lungs since the many tiny air sacs, or alveoli, cannot be individually resolved, but do create a strong dark-field signal. However, achieving time-resolved tomographic (i.e. 4D) x-ray dark-field imaging is challenging since dark-field imaging has typically required multiple sample exposures, while scanning the position of crystals or gratings, to extract the signal. Here, we present the first in vivo 4D x-ray dark-field lung imaging in mice, performed at the Australian Synchrotron's Imaging and Medical Beamline.
