Laboratory Computed Tomography (CT) Devices

Computed tomography utilizes a motorized X-ray source that rotates around a gantry to capture a series of tomographic images that can be layered to generate an extremely accurate 3D image. Laboratory computed tomography instruments are used extensively for NDT testing and are capable of accurately imaging the entirety of a material. When comparing laboratory CT devices, scan times can be of paramount importance for keeping up with your throughput. Also, consider the detector of the CT device. Flat panel detectors tend to offer increased longevity and size, whereas CMOS detectors can offer increased scanning speed with improved resolution. Laboratory computed tomography devices are offered in several sizes ranging from benchtop to floor-standing models, the right choice will vary depending on laboratory space as well as the size of the object to be imaged.
