Diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) is a powerful phase sensitive technique that generates improved contrast of soft tissues compared to conventional radiography

and it can allow the visualization of nearly scatter free images displaying both absorption and refraction properties. Multiple image radiography (MIR) is a significant improvement over DEI based on a statistical analysis. MIR is more robust to noise and produces an additional image that depicts ultra small angle X ray scattering (USAXS)

and the USAXS image conveys the presence of microstructure in the object. Therefore

MIR simultaneously produces three images

depicting separately the effects of absorption

refraction and ultra small angle scattering of X rays. Furthermore

the absorption

USAXS and refraction images can be fused together and several kinds of information can be integrated in one image. In this work

three MIR images of biological samples are obtained and fused together

and the results show that MIR images can clearly display the inner details and structures of biological samples.
