ABSTRACT
X-ray CT is widely recognized as a modern diagnostic tool in clinical practice. However, the potential of advanced X-ray imaging techniques extends far beyond medicine. Micro-CT – 3D radiographic imaging method capable of achieving micrometer-level resolution – provides valuable results in a broad spectrum of scientific and industrial fields. This lecture introduces the fundamental principles of high-resolution X-ray imaging, presents the state-of-the-art technologies, and demonstrates a variety of micro-CT applications in contemporary research.
