Flow chart described a procedure to achieve the final image Correct an image distortion by a camera calibration Template matching and cross correlation Fuse image by matrix transformation Apply a Lambert-Beer law to the stitched image Image spline by a weighted average technique Achieve the final image Reduce noise by a median filter Capture a projection image
Calibration Phantom Acrylic plate Metal ball
Adjust to align with the same alignment Center ray
Center of X-ray beam (dash line) The projection image of calibration phantom
The center ray point must be shifted to the center of an X-ray detector
Phantom created for using as the object Cement plaster Air
The projection angle is 2 degrees per a projection from 0 to 360 degrees. The projection angle is 2 degrees per a projection from 0 to 360 degrees. The filtered back projection was used to reconstruct cross sectional images. The filtered back projection was used to reconstruct cross sectional images. Phantom 80 kV, 100mA, 0.8s 60 cm
The samples of projection data obtained from 0 to 360 degrees The samples of cross sectional image Cement plaster Air Air bubble
From the result, the miniature computed tomography is capable of constructing a cross sectional image with an ease and cost-effective technique.
