  • X-ray computer tomograph and method for investigating a component by means of X-ray computer tomography
    Patent number: 8229061
    Abstract: In an X-ray computer tomograph and a method for examining a component by means of X-ray computer tomography, the component carries out a movement relative to a radiation source detector unit in at least two degrees of freedom of movement, so at least one trajectory can be produced which spans a three-dimensional space. Since the X-radiation has a three-dimensional radiation geometry, volume data can be rapidly obtained and precisely reconstructed to form a three-dimensional X-ray image. The component can be geometrically measured by means of a geometry detection unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2012

  • Fibre optic X-ray camera
    Patent number: 6403962
    Abstract: A device for detecting X-radiation comprises a scintillator for converting X-radiation impinging thereon into light, a detecting device for detecting the light produced by the scintillator, and a fibre optic system for feeding the light produced by the scintillator to the detecting device. The device for detecting X-radiation is additionally provided with a heating means for heating at least one section of the fibre optic system to a predetermined temperature while the X-radiation is being detected.
