X-ray Tomography of Large Objects with Limited Measurement Angle

چکیده
In this paper we present an efficient implementation of an algorithm for reconstructing a 3D volume from limited angle projection data, based on statistical inversion theory. We demonstrate the strength of the method for detecting structural defects in large composite aerospace components, whose dimensions prevent acquiring measurements over the full circle. In comparison with a number of other tomographic reconstruction methods that can be applied to the limited angle case, such as tomosynthesis or simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART), we achieve superior depth resolution with reduced noise and artifacts.

Footprint as an alternative to X-ray in hallux valgus angle measurement
Background: X- ray images provide accurate and reliable data in different foot pathologies. However, the accompanied complications will limit its use for epidemiological studies and research purposes, especially in children. Therefore, simple, accessible, and cost- effective methods such as footprint, with a good correlation with x-ray images, are needed to help diagnose different foot pa...
متن کاملComputed tomographic X-ray velocimetry for simultaneous 3D measurement of velocity and geometry in opaque vessels
Computed tomographic X-ray velocimetry has been developed for simultaneous three-dimensional measurement of flow and vessel geometry. The technique uses cross-correlation functions calculated from X-ray projection image pairs acquired at multiple viewing angles to tomographically reconstruct the flow through opaque objects with high resolution. The reconstruction is performed using an iterative...

متن کاملA new approach to synchrotron energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction computed tomography.
A new data collection strategy for performing synchrotron energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction computed tomography has been devised. This method is analogous to angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction whose diffraction signal originates from a line formed by intersection of the incident X-ray beam and the sample. Energy resolution is preserved by using a collimator which defines a small sampling voxe...

The field of sea freight container inspection has been driven by the U.S. home resolution number one “H.R.1” in the last decade. This law motivated various major research projects inside and outside Europe. The Fraunhofer Development Center X-ray Technology EZRT in Fürth / Germany was partner in ECSIT a three-year project funded by the German ministry for science and research. Within this conte...
