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.
