X-Ray

In industrial computed tomography (CT), the term "X-ray" refers to the use of X-rays to examine objects and create 3D images. X-rays penetrate the object being examined and are captured on the detector on the opposite side. The data is then used to generate a 3D image of the object, providing information about its internal structure and density.

The use of X-rays in industrial CT has several advantages over other imaging methods, such as ultrasonic testing or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For example, X-rays can have a higher penetration power, allowing them to penetrate materials that are opaque to other methods. In addition, CT scans can be performed more quickly than other methods, resulting in higher throughput rates.

Another advantage of using X-rays in industrial CT is that they enable high resolution and detail accuracy. This is particularly useful when examining materials with complex structures or identifying internal defects such as cracks or voids.

However, it is important to note that the use of X-rays also carries risks, particularly in terms of exposure to ionizing radiation. Therefore, it is important that appropriate protective measures are taken when performing CT scans to ensure the safety of operators and other individuals near the CT system.

Overall, the use of X-rays in industrial CT is an important component in the examination of objects and materials in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, medicine, and many others.
