phoenix|x-ray Offers Non-Destructive Testing with High-Resolution Computed Tomography

Jul 10, 2003 | Until today non-destructive testing with high-resolution computed tomography has only been feasible with immense constructions in larger scientific laboratories. phoenix|x-ray is now closing this technological gap offering a highly resolving CT system for a broad public - the brand new v|tome|x (pronounce: vee-tomex). This novel system is capable of producing a detailed three-dimensional radioscopic visualisation of the sample that can be inspected from all angels in tomographic slices and sections. In contrast to the customary X-ray 2D projection methods computed tomography can display overlapping parts separately. In particular, for long objects this means that the cross-section becomes accessible at any position along the axis.
