Principle

This experiment explains the fundamental principles of image formation with a CT algorithm. A test object is used to create an attenuation tomogram and a time-of-flight tomogram followed by a discussion of the respective differences.

Benefits

  • Ideal system for education: affordable compared to industrial system to demonstrate ultrasound-CT in a very comprehensible way
  • With the same system mechanical scanning of an object can be performed, e.g. to create a B-scan image

Tasks

  1. Creation of several attenuation and time-of-flight tomograms
  2. Variation of the device parameters
  3. Discussion of the differences

Learning objectives

  • Ultrasonic echography (A-scan)
  • Tomography
  • Resolution
