Imaging and medical beamline of the australian synchrotron

Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the most powerful methods capable of imaging and reconstruction of the full 3D map of the object. Lab-scale CT machines are now widely available on the commercial or merit basis at many universities around the country. However, current level of technologies is dictating certain limits for the standard CT devices. The limits are usually expressed in terms of the object’s size, density, chemical composition, spatial resolution or their combination. In the last decade two advanced CT instruments were built in Australia to address the questions and expand the region of the applicability. Two of these instruments are owned and managed by the Australian National Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO). Thistalk is dedicated to the first of these intruments the synchrotron-based Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) [1] used for the X-ray as well as γ-ray imaging.
