Abstract

In past 50 years, X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been developed to a relatively mature non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technology widely used in both medical diagnostics and industrial inspections. Historically, major improvements in tomography technologies were developed in medical CT, then adopted by communities for industrial applications. Nowadays, security inspection CT needs fast and composition distinctive technologies, and NDE requires more on high resolution and high penetration capabilities. Both pursue different objectives comparing with medical CT’s major challenge: fast, low-dose and contrast improving images. Limited angle CT scan and laminography are common scenarios in NDE CT applications requires different reconstruction methods. In this paper, the authors reviewed the existing reconstruction methods in three categories, and compare them in different NDT applications limited view projections.
