  • Modular high resolution X-ray computed tomography system
    Patent number: 9791385
    Abstract: A modular X-ray computed tomography (XCT) system having a higher degree of modularity provides experimental versatility and in situ capabilities. The modular XCT system includes interchangeable X-ray sources and detectors that allow for the XCT system to be readily adapted to different imaging tasks, such as those that may require different trade-offs between spatial resolution, exposure time, power, and other scanning parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2017
    Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of Arizona State University
    Inventors: James C. E. Mertens, Jason J. Williams, Nikhilesh Chawla
