Usefulness of computerized tomography in nuclear applications
Description
A brief survey of computerized tomography is given and the increasing interest in its application to non-medical areas is noted. This has provided the impetus for the design and construction of transportable and inexpensive scanning systems capable of both emission and transmission tomography, for a variety of investigations. Experiments using a test object, principally designed for observing the effects of a non-uniformly attenuating and scattering body on the imaging of a Cs-137 source with a high resolution germanium detector and a sodium iodide scintillator, are described. The case for high resolution detectors and scattering contributions is advocated. 17 references, 7 figures
