Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Effect of spatial coherence on the application of in-line phase contrast imaging (IL-PCI) to synchrotron radiation (SR) mammography is investigated experimentally at SYRMEP/ELETTRA. Factors that are related to spatial coherence and IL-PCI image quality, which include vertical and horizontal beam, photon energy, slit width, sample–detector distance and detector resolution, are analyzed. The experimental results demonstrate that better IL-PCI image quality could be achieved in the vertical beam. As for the slit width, the spatial coherence for horizontal beam remains almost the same until the slit width is gradually closed to 5 mm. For mammography applications of IL-PCI, slit width of 100 mm could be employed and high-enough image quality can still be obtained. Lower photon energy results in better coherence and correspondingly better IL-PCI image quality. By compromising the dose and image quality, photon energy of ∼19 keV is recommended for SR mammography. To preserve the edge enhancement resulting from good coherence of SR, an appropriate sample–detector distance and a practical detector should be selected. The optimum sample–detector distance highly depends on detector resolution. For high-resolution film, the best IL-PCI imaging quality is obtained at a closer sample–detector distance. For an X-ray CCD with pixel size of 14 μm, about 1.5 m is needed to achieve optimum image quality. The large pixel size of the detector will deteriorate the edge-enhancing efficiency and results in lower IL-PCI imaging quality. In practice, the spatial resolution and sensitivity of the detectors should be compromised.
