3D quantification of mineral components and porosity distribution in Westphalian C Sandstone by microfocus X-ray computed tomography (2009)

Dierick, Manuel, Jacobs, Patric

Microfocus X-ray computed tomography (µCT) measurements were performed on deltaic sandstone samples from the diagenetically altered Westphalian C strata (Campine basin, north-east Belgium) in order...

Bronnikov-aided correction for x-ray computed tomography (2009)

De Witte, Yoni, Boone, Matthieu, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, Dierick, Manuel, Van Hoorebeke, Luc

When a very-low-absorbing sample is scanned at an x-ray computed tomography setup with a microfocus x-ray tube and a high-resolution detector, the obtained projection images contain not only...

Multi-resolution X-ray CT research applied on geomaterials (2009)

Cnudde, Veerle, Boone, Matthieu, Dewanckele, Jan, De Witte, Yoni, Van Loo, Denis, Pieters, Koen, ...

Many research topics in geology concern the study of internal processes of geo-materials on a pore-scale level in order to estimate their macroscopic behaviour. The microstructure of a porous medium...

Practical use of the modified Bronnikov algorithm in micro-CT (2009)

Boone, Matthieu, De Witte, Yoni, Dierick, Manuel, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, Van Hoorebeke, Luc

Through the years, the resolution of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) systems has increased rapidly, in particular for the newer micro- and nano-CT systems. With this increasing resolution, the limits...

The evaluation of Computed Tomography hard- and software tools for micropaleontologic studies on foraminifera (2009)

Van Loo, Denis, Speijer, Robert, Masschaele, Bert, Dierick, Manuel, Cnudde, Veerle, Boone, Matthieu, ...

Foraminifera (Forams) are single-celled amoeba-like organisms in the sea, which build a tiny calcareous multi-chambered shell for protection. Their enormous abundance, great variation of shape...

Detection of very small density fluctuations using the modified Bronnikov algorithm on micro-CT data (2009)

Boone, Matthieu, Almeida, Ana, De Witte, Yoni, Dierick, Manuel, Remon, Jean Paul, Vervaet, Chris, ...

Micro-CT (µCT) is a very useful tool in pharmaceutical sciences. It is able to visualize porosity in the whole sample without destroying it, making the risk of false results due to the sample...

Correcting phase contrast artefacts in X-ray CT imaging (2009)

De Witte, Yoni, Boone, Matthieu, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, Dierick, Manuel, Masschaele, Bert, Van Hoorebeke, Luc, ...

When going to higher resolution in X-ray transmission CT, one of the biggest problems is the appearance of phase contrast. Achieving high resolution usually means scanning very small and thus very...

Virtual histology by means of high-resolution X-ray CT (2008)

Cnudde, Veerle, Masschaele, Bert, De Cock, H, Olstad, K, Vlaminck, Lieven, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, ...

Micro-CT is a non-destructive technique for 3D tomographic investigation of an object. A 3D representation of the internal structure is calculated based on a series of X-ray radiographs taken from...

Comparison of different nano- and micro-focus X-ray computed tomography set-ups for the visualization of the soil microstructure and soil organic matter (2008)

Sleutel, Steven, Cnudde, Veerle, Masschaele, Bert, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, Dierick, Manuel, Van Hoorebeke, Luc, ...

This study explores the potential of different X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) set-ups for the discrimination of soil mineral matter, soil organic matter (OM) and the pore phase. Different X-ray...

The use of 2D pixel detectors in micro- and nano-CT applications (2008)

Dierick, Manuel, Van Hoorebeke, Luc, Jacobs, Patric, Masschaele, Bert, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, Cnudde, Veerle, ...

Computed tomography or CT is a non-destructive imaging technique that uses penetrating radiation (mostly X-rays) to visualize the internal structure of a sample. The best-known example is the medical...

Linking Morphology and Motion: A Test of a Four-Bar Mechanism in Seahorses (2008)

Roos, Gert, Leysen, Heleen, Van Wassenbergh, Sam, Herrel, Anthony, Jacobs, Patric, Dierick, Manuel, ...

Syngnathid fishes (seahorses, pipefish, and sea dragons) possess a highly modified cranium characterized by a long and tubular snout with minute jaws at its end. Previous studies indicated that these...

X-ray micro-tomography under altered environmental conditions with EMCT-scanner (2008)

Van Loo, Denis, Masschaele, Bert, Cnudde, Veerle, Dierick, Manuel, Vlassenbroeck, Jelle, De Witte, Yoni, ...

In many research fields the use of micro and even sub-micron X-ray tomography has become an indispensable tool in acquiring and analyzing complex 3D structures. Especially in the field of material...
