Computed Tomography Scanning
Applied Technical Services (ATS) offers Computed Tomography Scanning for clients looking to test and evaluate their products. Scanning via computed tomography (CT) is one of the most reliable and comprehensive non-destructive testing methods available. Three-dimensional CT scans can be utilized in countless ways, whether to aid a company with forensic and failure analysis services or assist in the evaluation of internal characteristics of a component.
In computed tomography scanning, an object is analyzed inside a machine by an X-ray emitter that scans the subject. An imaging panel then collects projected X-ray data and sends it to a computer, which converts the data into several thousand cross-sectional images of the scanned object to yield a 3D model. Thanks to recent technological advancements that have increased computer processing power, computed tomography scanning has become an efficient way to locate and take volumetric measurements of structural flaws in sample components.
