Abstract

x-Ray computed axial tomography (CT) provides cross-sectional views of materials, components, and assemblies for industrial non-destructive evaluation. We have applied CT imaging to quantitatively measure the 3-D distribution ogf x-ray attenuation at reasonably high resolutions. In our industrial x-ray CT-studies, we have centered on two technical approaches: a first-generation translate/rotate CT system that consist of well-collimated (∼ 0.55 mm) photon source detector, and a third-generation scanner that uses a fluoroscopy detector.
