Novitom trains you in tomography

Mastering tomography means accessing 3D imaging!

Our training guides you step by step through understanding, implementing, and interpreting tomographic data. Combining clear theory, real-world case studies, and hands-on practice on a virtual tomography platform, our program is designed for researchers, engineers, and technicians eager to fully utilize volumetric images.

Our expert instructors have nearly twenty years of experience with various tomography techniques.

Initiation to X-ray tomography : non-destructive investigation and material chracterisation

Learning objectives

Acquire basic knowledge to understand what different types of X-ray tomography equipment can offer in terms of NDT and 3D characterisation of materials.

Understand and adjust key parameters to optimise image quality for defect detection and visualisation of material microstructure.

  • On-site or remote
  • Price and practical information: contact us!

Example of programme for a one-day training: initiation and intermediate

Basic concepts

  • X-ray absorption and phase shift
  • Principle of X-ray tomography: 3D acquisition and reconstruction
  • Image quality indicators

 
 Which tomograph for which application?

  • Presentation of the different existing assemblies: industrial tomograph, micro and nano-focus source, synchrotron source, 4D tomography
  • Influence of parameters on image quality: energy, spatial resolution, filters, sample positioning, etc.
  • Some keys for acquisition optimisation, artifact reduction

 
Case studies for materials characterisation and NDT

  • Inspection and quality control of parts: health-material control, dimensional control, defect detection, leak paths, etc.
  • Extraction of quantitative data: volume fractions, porosimetry, inclusions, fibre orientation, internal roughness, etc.

 
Practical work

  • Each participant will perform several virtual tomographies with the simulation software Novi-Sim.
