Description

The development of a high-speed X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner has been performed in this study. The object of interest is in a transient or unsettled state, which makes the conventional CT scanner inappropriate. This X-ray CT system uses the concept of electronic switching of electron beams for X-ray generation to increase scanning speed. A continuous operation X-ray CT scanner sampling at about 4 milliseconds scanning rate has already been developed and applied for air-water two-phase flow measurement. The feasibility and the excellent performance of this CT scanner system are demonstrated and confirmed. (author)
