Phase-contrast imaging (PCI) on synchrotron radiation (SR) light source has become a paradigm in X-ray biomedical imaging. In vitro and in vivo biomedical research has attracted high attention thanks to its capability of providing high diagnostic significant images in a wide range of organs or viscera, including the breast, joints, cartilage, lung, eyes, vasculature, brain and central nervous system. In this chapter, the basic principle, main phase-contrast imaging methods and their bio-medical applications are introduced. Various imaging methods are described and evaluated. The prospect and limitations of synchrotron-based medical imaging are briefly discussed as well.

Abstract
Phase-contrast imaging (PCI) on synchrotron radiation (SR) light source has become a paradigm in X-ray biomedical imaging. In vitro and in vivo biomedical research has attracted high attention thanks to its capability of providing high diagnostic significant images in a wide range of organs or viscera, including the breast, joints, cartilage, lung, eyes, vasculature, brain and central nervous system. In this chapter, the basic principle, main phase-contrast imaging methods and their bio-medical applications are introduced. Various imaging methods are described and evaluated. The prospect and limitations of synchrotron-based medical imaging are briefly discussed as well.
