What is computed tomography in NDT?

Computed Tomography or CT is a non-destructive imaging modality that provides much more than just non-destructive testing (NDT) of materials and components..
What is the purpose of CT test?
A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment..
A CT (computed tomography) scan is an imaging test that helps healthcare providers detect diseases and injuries.
It uses a series of X-rays and a computer to create detailed images of your bones and soft tissues.
A CT scan is painless and noninvasive.
You might go to a hospital or imaging center for your CT scan.
In conventional x-rays, the structures overlap.
For example, the ribs overlay the lung and heart.
In an x-ray, structures of medical concern are often obscured by other organs or bones, making diagnosis difficult.
In a CT image, overlapping structures are eliminated, making the internal anatomy more apparent.
Why Are Neck CT Scans Done? A neck CAT scan can detect signs of disease in the throat and surrounding areas.
Doctors may order a neck CAT scan to look for signs of an infection (such as an abscess), an injury, a birth defect, cysts, or tumors.

Computed Tomography is an radiographic NDT- method to locate and size planar volumetric details in three dimensions. A CT-scanner generates X-ray attenuation measurements which are used to produce computed reconstructed images of any desired part of an object.

Computed Tomography or CT is a non-destructive imaging modality that provides much more than just non-destructive testing (NDT) of materials and components. Using CT, highly detailed 2D and 3D images of components can be generated that provide valuable insights into their inner structures.

The capability to “look” into the inside of a subject in ways that are blind to all other inspections is a great tool. Specifically for NDT, CT data sets are typically used for defect detection, wall thickness measurements, geometrical verification, and for other various inspection needs.
