The direct three-dimensional computed tomography enables a simple and economical analysis of a specimen’s volume data. During specimen rotation, hundreds of slices are measured. In addition to the usual viewing of slices, the direct 3D computed tomography also allows a specimen assessment through longitudinal as well as cross sections. The parallel process of collecting measurement data and of computing reconstructions ensures very short processing times.
The use of a modern semiconductor flat panel detector also permits to view the specimen in the well-known radioscopy mode. The time-consuming search for ROIs in the specimen becomes superfluous.
