MicroComputed Tomography: Methodology and Applications

MicroComputed Tomography: Methodology and Applications, 9781420058765 (1420058762), CRC Press, 2008

Due to the availability of commercial laboratory systems and the emergence of user facilities at synchrotron radiation sources, studies of microcomputed tomography or microCT have increased exponentially.

MicroComputed Technology provides a complete introduction to the technology, describing how to use it effectively and understand its results. The first part of the book focuses on methodology, covering experimental methods, data analysis, and visualization approaches. The second part addresses various microCT applications, including porous solids, microstructural evolution, soft tissue studies, multimode studies, and indirect analyses.The author presents a sufficient amount of fundamental material so that those new to the field can develop a relative understanding of how to design their own microCT studies.

One of the first full-length references dedicated to microCT, this book provides an accessible introduction to field, supplemented with application examples and color images.
