Under the CT Technology tab, we will display information concerning computed tomography and X-ray technology and explain how why it is applicable to achieving the best CT images comes into play. Just click on the topic of choice. We will discuss the development and current best practices. As you know, "CT produces data that can be manipulated in order to demonstrate various [material] structures based on their ability to absorb the X-ray beam. Although, historically [in a medical setting,] the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane, perpendicular to the long axis of the [human] body, modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric (3D) representations of structures." Nondestructive testing or NDT CT generally uses the part rotation method to help lower costs and take advantage of highly accurate positioning such is used with CNC machining instead of rotating the gantry. "Another example is archaeological uses such as imaging the contents of sarcophagi or ceramics. Individuals responsible for performing CT exams are called radiographers or radiologic technologists." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan) The radiographers provide setup of the object such that it is penetrated by the x-ray beam with a bit count that is sufficient to explore defects or anomalies and develop an understanding of the material makeup. The radiographer optimizes the geometric planes of the object to minimize scatter artifacts and other anomalies or imaging degradation such as blurring, and noise.
