Construction of motorized filter changer for tomographic system Rigaku Nano3DX
Maleček, Lukáš ; Nožičková,, Dominika (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
X-ray computed tomography is a technique that finds widespread application nowadays. The initial use of this technique was mainly in medical diagnostics. The achievable accuracy of this technique has been progressively improved so much that today the computed tomography finds applications even in the field of industry. It is a non-destructive method of three-dimensional imaging of the internal structures of the examined objects. The quality of the resulting CT data is influenced by several factors. One of these factors is the property of X-rays, which we use for measurements. We are able to partially alter the properties of X-rays and thus obtain higher quality CT data, without the occurrence of some tomographic artifacts. The main way how we can change the properties of the generated X-rays is called additional filtration. This work deals with the study of X-ray spectra, based on which X-ray filters are optimized, to achieve the most efficient filtration. The main aim of this bachelor thesis is also the construction and production of a motorized changer of these filters, which should cause the speeding up the process of setting the whole CT measurement and allow the development of new computed tomography techniques.

Optimization of X-ray computed tomography method for imaging of low-density materials
Maleček, Lukáš ; Oberta, Peter (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
X-ray computed tomography is a technique enabling three-dimensional non-destructive imaging of the internal structure of measured objects. This imaging method has become a standard tool utilized in various fields, including medicine, industry, and science. Conventional X-ray computed tomography is based on the absorption of X-rays as it is passing through the measured object. However, this conventional imaging approach has its limitations, particularly when imaging objects with low density that causes only low X-ray attenuation. In such cases, sufficient contrast between the measured object and the background is not achieved. This thesis focuses on the optimization of phase contrast imaging, which utilizes phase changes of radiation as it is passing through the sample to overcome the limitations of absorption-based computed tomography. The detection of phase changes is achieved in the thesis using the propagation-based method. The main goal is to develop a methodology for finding the optimal parameters for the acquisition of tomographic data and also for the following processing of obtained X-ray projections. The results are qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated to assess the benefits of the developed methodology.
