Henriette Bast

M.Sc. Henriette Bast is a researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with both the Department of Physics and the Faculty of Medicine. Her work focuses on X-ray dark-field imaging and its applications in diagnosing pulmonary diseases, particularly emphysema and COVID-19 pneumonia, with an emphasis on dose reduction techniques.

• Research Highlights: X-ray dark-field imaging methodology, lung volume assessment, comparative imaging studies (CT vs. X-ray), and exposure control systems.
• Conference Presentations: Featured in leading venues like ESTI 2025 (Norway) and RSNA 2022 (USA), discussing clinical applications of dark-field imaging.

Her recent publications in journals such as Medical Physics and PLOS ONE demonstrate a consistent focus on advancing dark-field radiography for improved diagnosis, dose efficiency, and functional lung assessment. She has collaborated with multidisciplinary teams including radiologists, physicists, and engineers.

Henriette Bast is actively engaged in clinical research, with a trajectory toward translating dark-field imaging into practical applications for pulmonary disease evaluation. Her work intersects biomedical engineering, radiology, and medical physics.
