Principle

X-ray computed tomography consists of using X-rays that are converted to a digital signal by a detector and computational algorithms to calculate virtual sections through an object without the need to physical-ly cut them. With this data it is possible to generate 3D representations of the sample under investiga-tion. Both from the external as from the interior of the sample.

Tasks

1. Perform a CT scan
2. Define the reconstruction parameters
3. Investigate the reconstructed volume
