Industrial computed tomography, the Glossary

Index Industrial computed tomography

Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning is any computer-aided tomographic process, usually X-ray computed tomography, that uses irradiation to produce three-dimensional internal and external representations of a scanned object.[1]

Allan MacLeod Cormack

Allan MacLeod Cormack (February 23, 1924 – May 7, 1998) was a South African American physicist who won the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (along with Godfrey Hounsfield) for his work on X-ray computed tomography (CT), a significant and unusual achievement since Cormack did not hold a doctoral degree in any scientific field.

Collimated beam

A collimated beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation has parallel rays, and therefore will spread minimally as it propagates.

See Industrial computed tomography and Collimated beam

Cone beam computed tomography

Cone beam computed tomography (or CBCT, also referred to as C-arm CT, cone beam volume CT, flat panel CT or Digital Volume Tomography (DVT)) is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone.

See Industrial computed tomography and Cone beam computed tomography

Coordinate-measuring machine

A coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe.

CT scan

A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body.

Finite element method

The finite element method (FEM) is a popular method for numerically solving differential equations arising in engineering and mathematical modeling.

Fusion Engineering and Design

Fusion Engineering and Design is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published monthly by Elsevier.

Godfrey Hounsfield

Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield (28 August 1919 – 12 August 2004) was a British electrical engineer who shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan MacLeod Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT).

Industrial radiography

Industrial radiography is a modality of non-destructive testing that uses ionizing radiation to inspect materials and components with the objective of locating and quantifying defects and degradation in material properties that would lead to the failure of engineering structures. Industrial computed tomography and Industrial radiography are Nondestructive testing.

See Industrial computed tomography and Industrial radiography

Irradiation

Irradiation is the process by which an object is exposed to radiation.

See Industrial computed tomography and Irradiation

Medical imaging

Medical imaging is the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology).

See Industrial computed tomography and Medical imaging

Metrology

Metrology is the scientific study of measurement.

See Industrial computed tomography and Metrology

PCB reverse engineering

Reverse engineering of Printed circuit boards (sometimes called “cloning”, or PCB RE) is the process of generating fabrication and design data for an existing circuit board, either closely or exactly replicating its functionality. Industrial computed tomography and PCB reverse engineering are reverse engineering.

See Industrial computed tomography and PCB reverse engineering

Reverse engineering

Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so.

See Industrial computed tomography and Reverse engineering

Tomography

Tomography is imaging by sections or sectioning that uses any kind of penetrating wave.

See Industrial computed tomography and Tomography

Volume rendering

In scientific visualization and computer graphics, volume rendering is a set of techniques used to display a 2D projection of a 3D discretely sampled data set, typically a 3D scalar field.

See Industrial computed tomography and Volume rendering

3D printing

3D printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model.
