Computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive X-ray imaging method, which allows to visualize three-dimensional X-ray absorption properties of an object. In this lab course you will learn the basics about X-ray imaging and computed tomography using a simple CT setup. Next to theoretical and experimental basics of X-ray imaging and radiography, you will get an idea how CT reconstruction using filtered backprojection (FBP) works and how typical reconstruction artifacts look like. You may also bring along your own sample to be scanned (max. 4 cm in diameter and max. 3 cm in height, nonmetallic). You do not need to print this manual since a printout is available at the experimental setup.
