Dynamic Micro-CT: Nondestructive imaging in the fourth dimension

Dynamic Micro-CT: Nondestructive imaging in the fourth dimension

Ultra-fast 4D imaging in the synchrotron has limited availability, expensive running costs and proposal-based access, which makes it unavailable for many researchers and engineers. Recent technology developments have resulted in a revolution in the field of micro-CT, bringing fast 4D imaging to the lab.

Check out this article that appeared in the November issue of Microscopy & Analysis, “Dynamic Micro-CT: Nondestructive Imaging in the Fourth Dimension”. It offers insight to the latest technique, known as dynamic micro-CT, and provides applications examples in the areas of predicting and simulating the mechanical properties of metal foams as well as studying the disintegration process of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules.

Three different time steps of the dynamic experiment. The water front moves very quickly up the tablet. After water absorption large cracks and voids are present in the sample, and a large volume increase is observed.
