Computed tomography provides a three-dimensional, spatial image of the object under inspection. The CT-image shows different materials as different shades of gray (or as different colors). To generate a three-dimensional image, a large number of two-dimensional X-ray images is taken around a single axis of rotation (360 °). These X-ray images are then reformatted as volumetric representations of structures (3D) using a complex reconstruction algorithm.
