Abstract
In this article, we demonstrate how the spatial distribution of x-ray linea r attenuation coefficients within an object can be estimated from x-ray dif fraction tomography data. The experimental arrangement to achieve this expl oits a position sensitive detector and an analyzer crystal. The quality of reconstructed maps of linear attenuation coefficients is comparable to resu lts obtained from conventional transmission computed tomography. (C) 2001 A merican Institute of Physics.
