A Pb nipple marker is affixed to the object
Called TACT (Tuned Aperture Computed Tomography).
Developed algorithm that allows a conventional 2-D imaging system to be converted to a 3-D tomographic system.
Digital, flat panel radiographic system into a tomographic system with only the addition of software and a Pb reference sphere o
Eight radiographs are taken from different angles.
For a set of eight 400 KB images, the entire process of locating the centers and computing the slices takes approximately five m
Technician places the digital, flat-panel imager behind the object to be imaged.
The operator locates the center of the shadow cast by the nipple marker on each radiograph.
The resulting radiographs will show the object and the round shadow cast by the nipple marker.
The resulting slices are of a quality comparable to tomographs taken with dedicated tomographic imaging systems
The software then computes tomographic slices through the object.
