Computed tomography in 3D geometrical measurements

Istota pomiarów tomograficznych opartych na promieniowaniu rentgenowskim X. Budowa tomografów - główne zespoły i ich funkcje. Kalibracja tomografów. Prezentacja modelu tomografu opracowanego w Instytucie Metrologii i Inżynierii Biomedycznej.Computed tomography (CT), after its dynamical development for medical requirements recently starts to appear in an area of industrial applications. It enables not only to determine dimensions of objects made of metal, plastics and different kinds of composed materials but also to defect internal defects of the material. This paper describes concepts of CT measurements. The main construction units of tomographs are characterized and the examples of tomographs of different firms and their applications are given. The accuracy and calibration problems are also shortly discussed. At the and the concepts of home - made computed tomograph for industrial applications are also presented
