| Abstract Title: |
W18: Index-Matching Computer Tomography |
| Abstract: |
Computer aided Tomography (CAT or CT) systems are a fundamental medical physics imaging tool. CT systems are typically based on X-rays, making student access to them costly due to safety concerns and initial start up costs. The fundamental physics behind CT systems is attenuation of X-rays by absorption. In this workshop a visible light CT system will be used to recreate the physics behind X-ray based systems. Colored Pyrex glass immersed in a fluid of identical index of refraction removes refraction losses and absorption can be accentuated using different colors of pyrex. Attendees to the workshop will collect data, produce sonograms and apply a simple algorithm to reconstruct images. |
