Computed Tomography (CT) is a powerful method for non-destructive testing (NDT) and metrology awakes with expanding application fields. To improve the spatial resolution of high energy CT, a micro-spot gamma-ray source based on bremsstrahlung from a laser wakefield accelerator was developed. A high energy CT using the source was performed, which shows that the resolution of reconstruction can reach 100 μm at 10% contrast. Our proof-of-principle demonstration indicates that laser driven micro-spot gamma-ray sources provide a prospective way to increase the spatial resolution and toward to high energy micro CT. Due to the advantage in spatial resolution, laser based high energy CT represents a large potential for many NDT applications.
计算机断层扫描(CT)是一种强大的无损检测(NDT)方法,随着应用领域的不断扩大而受到关注。为了提高高能CT的空间分辨率,研制了一种基于激光尾场加速器轫致辐射的微焦点伽马射线源。利用该源进行了高能CT实验,结果表明在10%对比度下重建分辨率可达100μm。我们的原理验证表明,激光驱动的微焦点伽马射线源为提高空间分辨率和实现高能微型CT提供了一种有前景的方法。由于在空间分辨率方面的优势,基于激光的高能CT在许多无损检测应用中具有巨大潜力。
