A method for phase contrast imaging comprises: illuminating an object by terahertz radiation such that the terahertz radiation interacts with the object; illuminating a diffraction grating by the terahertz radiation that has interacted with the object; translating the diffraction grating along the direction of the grating wave vector, to measure, for each of different grating positions, an intensity distribution of the terahertz radiation that has interacted with the object and with the grating in a diffraction field; and retrieving a phase contrast image of the object from the intensity distributions. An apparatus for phase contrast imaging comprises: a terahertz radiation emitter for generating terahertz radiation, which illuminates an object to interact with the object; a diffraction grating, which is illuminated by the terahertz radiation that has interacted with the object; a terahertz radiation detector for measuring, for each of different grating positions, an intensity distribution of the terahertz radiation that has interacted with the object and with the grating in a diffraction field; and a data collecting and processing system for retrieving a phase contrast image of the object from the intensity distributions.
