Live 3D Images to be taken from Inside Materials An X-ray detector capable of high-quality 3D images in real time is being developed. This will make it possible to precisely reconstruct even the processes going on inside materials and e.g. provide a reliable way of detecting #minoscule #faults. #MULIX is an XR detector for industrial CT based on the design of medical X-ray devices. Our challenge was to combine high image quality with a high degree of flexibility, Frank Nachtrab from EZRT. MULIX harnesses 2 concepts already in use ie hybrid that incorporates line and flat-panel detectors commonly used in industry. ie #Single-line detectors use a fan-shaped beam to X-ray a certain #section of the test object, while #flat-panel detectors work with a #cone-shaped beam that encompasses the entire object. ~#Pros and #Cons: -A flat-panel detector quickly gives 2D image of the entire object but causes scattered radiation which impairs image quality. -A single-line detector is less sensitive for scatter and will therefore deliver extremely sharp images but only captures a small portion #SOLN: We have combined the benefits of the 2 solutions, They use 256 multiple-line detectors to scan larger objects such as car body parts very quickly. Whats really remarkable is that the new detector delivers images so fast, it becomes possible to use CT techniques to make a 3D-scan of the object almost in real time. + Unlike commercially available detectors, it is possible to adjust MULIXs curvature. This ensures flexibility fraunhofer.de/en/press/research-news/2014/december/live-images-from-insid-materials.html
