XNPIG 2026

Since its first demonstration in 1960s by Bonse and Hart, grating based X-ray phase contrast imaging has attracted many research interests due to its superior performance than the traditional absorption X-ray imaging in improving the image contrast of low-density (or low atomic number) objects. In addition, the grating based phase imaging method has also been demonstrated for neutron imaging. By far, X-ray and neutron grating phase imaging have been applied widely in many research areas such as biomedical imaging, material science, and so on. It is believed that the grating based X-ray and neutron phase imaging would continue to play important roles in future.

The International Conference on X-ray and Neutron Phase Imaging with Gratings (XNPIG) was initiated by the University of Tokyo in 2012. Over the past thirteen years, XNPIG has been held successively for six times at the University of Tokyo in Japan, TUM in Germany, National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, PSI in Switzerland, and Tohoku University in Japan, and has gained the worldwide recognition.

The 7th XNPIG 2026 conference will provide great opportunities for international colleagues to work together.
We are looking forward to welcome you in Munich , Germany
