Objectif Aim of the LaBCAXPCI project is to make X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging techniques more powerful and flexible, completing their translation into real-life applications with the deployment of new experimental methods that are fully compatible with a laboratory, industrial or clinical environment. Proof of principle experiments [1] have recently demonstrated that Coded Aperture system are capable of quantitative X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging with practically no coherence conditions, opening the possibility for the full translation of the high potential of X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging (i.e. high-magnification imaging, imaging with phase sensitivity in two orthogonal directions simultaneously, dark-field imaging and fully three-dimensional imaging). The completion of LaBCAXPCI will ultimately enable the delivery of better images to a number of people as large as possible. X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging has a wide range of applications in medicine, biology and material science [2- 6]. Examples of applications that will take advantage of the completion of LaBCAXPCI are: non-destructive testing [7-9], homeland security [10], small animal imaging [11-14], non-calcified tissue [15,16] and breast imaging [17,18].[1] P.
