Extract

Composition imaging of industrial samples has been reported using dual energy and multiple energy transmission computed tomography [1,2]. The simplest approach utilizes monoenergetic sources to obtain tomographs of a sample at two different energies. Each tomograph represents the linear attenuation coefficient distribution of the sample at the given source energy.
