Nondestructive internal quality evaluation of pears using X-ray imaging and Machine Learning KU Leuven
Pear fruit are prone to developing internal disorders that leave consumers dissatisfied and unwilling to repeat their purchase. It must thus be prevented that defect fruit reach the consumer. Internal disorders, however, are invisible from the surface of the fruit. In practice, batches of fruit are, therefore, often discarded based on the result of a manual destructive inspection of a small number of randomly sampled fruit. This leads to ...

A grating interferometry add-on for high-resolution X-ray phase contrast and dark-field imaging at UGCT Ghent University
To extend the potential of the infrastructure of the Centre for X-ray Tomography (UGCT), a grating interferometry add-on is requested. With this equipment multi-modal X-ray imaging will be made possible, allowing to achieve a higher contrast in low-attenuating objects and to obtain information about structures well below the conventionally feasible spatial resolution.
Development of peripheral equipment for conditioned X-ray nanotomography measurements Ghent University
A nanofocus X-ray tomograph is a device that allows non-destructive scanning of the interior of materials and objects with a spatial resolution better than one micrometer. This project proposal aims at the development of peripheral equipment at the new nanotomograph of the UGent which will allow to study samples under specific conditions such as controlled temperature, level of humidity, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric composition, tensile ...

An X-ray view on the intra-seasonal dynamics of carbon storage in trees [XINCAST] Ghent University
Forests are key in the terrestrial carbon cycle. Studying the seasonal drivers of carbon storage in wood (Wagner et al. 2016) is however labour intensive and mainly descriptive. In this project, we aim at developing an innovative and quantitative method for mapping of intra-seasonal carbon storage using X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence scans of micro-cores.
Introduction of Talbot-Lau X-ray phase contrast microtomography at UGCT and comparison with single-image in-line phase propagation microtomography Ghent University
In X-ray imaging and more specifically in high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT), image contrast is mainly created by the attenuation of X-rays. Recently, the possibilities of X-ray phase contrast, where the effects of the refractive index of the object are being used, have gained significant importance. Currently, the two most common techniques are in-line phase contrast, using the propagation of the beam to visualize the phase ...
