4.2 Advantages of CT Computed tomography (CT) is a radiographic method that can be an excellent examination technique whenever the primary goal is to locate and quantify volumetric details in three dimensions. In addition, since SIST EN 16016-2:2012

Like any imaging system, a CT system can never reproduce an exact image of the scanned object. The accuracy of the CT image is dictated largely by the competing influences of the imaging system, namely spatial resolution, statistical noise and artefacts. Each of these aspects is discussed briefly in 4.4.1. A more complete description will be found in EN 16016-3. CT grey values cannot be used to identify unknown materials unambiguously unless a priori information is available, since a given experimental value measured at a given position may correspond to a broad range of materials. Another important consideration is to have sufficient X-ray transmission through the sample at all projection angles (see 8.2) without saturating any part of the detector. 4.4 Main CT process steps 4.4.1 Acquisition During a CT scan, multiple projections are taken in a systematic way: the images are acquired from a number of different viewing angles. Feature recognition depends, among other factors, on the number of angles from which the individual projections are taken. The CT image quality can be improved if the number of projections of a scan is increased. As all image capture systems contain inherent artefacts, CT scans usually begin with the capture of offset and gain reference images to allow flat field correction; using black (X-rays off) and white (X-rays on with the sample out of the field of view) images to correct for detector anomalies. The capture of reference images for SIST EN 16016-2:2012

Most industrial Computed Tomography systems will use an electrically generated X-ray source, and these can be sub-divided into three main types:
 Open Tube (or Vacuum Demountable) X-ray sets ;  Sealed Tube Constant Potential X-ray sets ;  Linear Accelerators. Each source type has a speciality, sometimes systems are supplied with more than one source so they can be used over a broader range of samples. Besides cost considerations, selection of a suitable X-ray source is dictated by the range of samples (size, composition and material density) that will be inspected and the resolution they are to be inspected at. X-ray set manufacturers will often quote a single focal spot size, this is a ‘nominal’ measurement at a specific energy setting, the size of the focal spot will vary depending upon the voltage (kV) and current (µA/mA) settings used, the higher the power the larger the focal spot will become. Focal spot size and the feature recognition (which is sometimes referred to by system manufacturers) are not the same as the spatial resolution of the CT system. The feature recognition is the ability of the complete system to display an image of an object, or feature within an object, of a certain size. For example, it is entirely possible for a system with an X-ray set being run at an energy that is producing a focal sp
