X-ray microtomography using a laboratory source: Measurement technique and comparison of reconstruction algorithms

A method of measuring the projections recorded by a laboratory-scale x-ray tomograph device is described. Numerical realizations of several methods that employ the apparatus of morphological image analysis are used to reconstruct images of a test object. It is shown that the estimators of the mean values of the coefficients of linear attenuation of media that are obtained are in good agreement with the requirements imposed on modern industrial, medical, and laboratory tomograph devices.
