“…The monochromatic and high-beam parallel characteristics of synchrotron X-rays produce images that can distinguish soft tissues with similar attenuation coefficients. This imaging method is efficient in soft-tissue discrimination, including articular cartilage, human breast, eyeballs, and coronary arteries [14][15][16][17].…”

Refraction-contrast computed tomography based on X-ray dark-field imaging (XDFI) using synchrotron radiation (SR) has shown superior resolution compared to conventional absorption-based methods and is often comparable to pathologic examination under light microscopy. This study aimed to investigate the potential of the XDFI technique for clinical application in lung cancer diagnosis. Two types of lung specimens, primary and secondary malignancies, were investigated using an XDFI optic system at beamline BL14B of the High-Energy Accelerator Research Organization Photon Factory, Tsukuba, Japan. Three-dimensional reconstruction and segmentation were performed on each specimen. Refraction-contrast computed tomographic images were compared with those obtained from pathological examinations. Pulmonary microstructures including arterioles, venules, bronchioles, alveolar sacs, and interalveolar septa were identified in SR images. Malignant lesions could be distinguished from the borders of normal structures. The lepidic pattern was defined as the invasive component of the same primary lung adenocarcinoma. The SR images of secondary lung adenocarcinomas of colorectal origin were distinct from those of primary lung adenocarcinomas. Refraction-contrast images based on XDFI optics of lung tissues correlated well with those of pathological examinations under light microscopy. This imaging method may have the potential for use in lung cancer diagnosis without tissue damage. Considerable equipment modifications are crucial before implementing them from the lab to the hospital in the near future.
