Computed tomography module

Records the 2D projections of an object illuminated by X-rays within a few minutes. During the recording of the 2D-projections, the e-learning software visualises the back-projection process in two or three dimensions alternatively. After the scan the complete 3D-object is available to be viewed (rotating, zooming, transparency effects, projections, illumination similar to the Heidelberger ray-tracing model).
Well-resolved images of various objects can be obtained in spite of the simple measuring method and the low energy of the x-ray radiation (35 keV) from the educational x-ray apparatus. The 3D-computed tomogram of various objects can be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. The learning involved in the preparation of the scanning process and image evaluation is emphasised.
Additionally, a suitable x-ray apparatus (554 811USB or 554 801, X-ray tube W 554 864) and a powerful computer are required.

PC Requirements

The real-time recording and evaluation of a computed tomogram need a powerful CPU and graphics card.

For performing CT scans the following minimum requirements apply:
* Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista/7/8/10 (32 bit or 64 bit)
* Dual-Core CPU 2 GHz
* 2 GB RAM
* 3D graphics card
* USB 2.0 port
* DVD drive

For larger computed tomograms we recommend a more powerful PC:
* Windows Vista/7/8/10 (32 bit or 64 bit)
* Quad-Core CPU 2,4 GHz
* 4 GB RAM
* 3D graphics card with 1 GB RAM (middle-sized class)
* USB 2.0 port
* DVD drive
