Most existing X-ray computed tomography (CT) techniques work in single-mounted mode and need to scan the inspected objects one by one. It is time-consuming and not acceptable for the inspection in a large scale. In this paper, we report a multi-mounted CT method and its first engineering implementation. It consists of a multi-mounted scanning geometry and the corresponding algebraic iterative r...

The data published with this article are high resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) data obtained during an ex-situ fatigue test of a coupon test specimen made from a non-crimp fabric based glass fibre composite similar to those used for wind turbine blades. The fatigue test was interrupted four times for X-ray CT examination during the fatigue life of the considered specimen. All the X-ray...

POEMS syndrome is a rare plasmacyte-associated disease, one of the major diagnostic criteria of which is sclerotic bone lesion. To detect bone lesions in POEMS syndrome, which imaging method should be routinely applied and what characteristics they display are still unconfirmed. We analyzed clinical data and imaging characteristics of bone lesions in 22 patients with POEMS using multimodal meth...

clavicular bone tumors occur in less than 0.5 percent of bone tumors. primary chondrosarcoma is very rare even among clavicle tumors. the main symptom is a touchable mass in 69 % of patients. dedicated centers using fna and cytology can reach a correct diagnosis in 94% of cases. treatment planning is done using simple x-ray, ct-scan, shoulder mri, chest ct-scan, and whole body technetium scan. ...

Industrial CT (computerized tomography) uses a series of 2-dimensional images taken at specific intervals around the entire sample. Basically any type of industrial CT system uses three principal components: an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, and a rotational stage. Everything is enclosed within a radiation shielding steel/lead/steel cabinet that typically ranges between four and 10 feet cubed. ...

OBJECTIVES X-ray computed tomography (CT) using phase contrast can provide images with greatly enhanced soft-tissue contrast in comparison to conventional attenuation-based CT. We report on the first scan of a human specimen recorded with a phase-contrast CT system based on an x-ray grating interferometer and a conventional x-ray tube source. Feasibility and potential applications of preclinica...

This paper focuses on minimizing the time requirement for CT capture through innovative simultaneous x-ray capture method. The state-of-the-art CT imaging methodology captures a sequence of projections during which the internal organ movements may lead to poor reconstruction due to motion artefacts. Traditional CT scanners' minimize such effect by taking more projections than necessary. In this...
