Abstract
A movable collimator is realized with a simple mechanism in a radiation phase-contrast image capturing device. A collimator is integrated with a multi-slit or a phase grating to provide a simpler device configuration. In some examples, the collimator and the multi-slit or phase grating may be configured to move while still providing image capturing.
