Aims

The aim of the subject is to get familiar with computed tomography and practically demonstrate its possibilities in structural analysis and benefits in applied and basic research. For this purpose, the practical part is getting the same space as the theory and the student will participate on the real measurement and realize the own data analysis. The study includes explanation of X-ray generation, analysis of data reconstruction and image processing, so student can find its own interest according to his/her background.
