Artifacts in X-ray CT

Advanced X-ray computed tomography methods: High resolution CT, quantitative CT, 4DCT and phase contrast CT

During the last years, a number of novel X-ray imaging and data processing methods have been developed. This work gives an overview of some recent CT-developments: 1) High resolution CT: State of the art laboratory CT-systems are able to reach resolutions down to 0.7 μm (or even lower) and voxels sizes down to 50 nm. Several applications of high-resolution CT are presented and discussed. 2) Qua...

Investigation of dosimetric characteristic of NIPAM polymer gel using x-ray CT

Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...

Laboratory X-Ray Nano-CT System

Using advanced X-ray technologies and X-ray scattering enhancement in signal detection, a compact laboratory X-ray scanner for 3D non-invasive imaging with 150-200 nanometers 3D detail detectability has been created. This spatial resolution in the volume terms is equal or better than can be achieved in synchrotron tomography, 5 orders better than in existing laboratory instruments and 10-12 ord...
