Abstract
An X-ray phase-contrast imaging device capable of easily performing imaging of an object using X-rays of plural energies is provided. The disclosed exemplary configuration includes an X-ray source of a dual energy output type, and an FPD having a high energy X-ray detection surface and a low energy X-ray detection surface so that two types of imaging, imaging by high energy X-ray and imaging by low energy X-ray, can be performed. By imaging so as to scan the object while changing the relative position of the imaging system and the object, two types of imaging can be completed at once.
