A translation-based data acquisition method for industrial computed tomography: Experimental results

The translation-based data acquisition method is taking advantage of the fact that variations of distance between X-ray focal spot and detector will provide both different beam angles and ray paths with respect to the object. Or, in other words: the rotational movement is substituted by one or more linear movements of the X-ray source towards the object under inspection. We present the theoretical concept of this acquisition scheme and show experimental results with real data.
