Abstract
The development of an X-ray CT system with a room temperature semiconductor detector such as CdTe is a challenging project that would enable us to reconstruct an object with a spatial resolution of less than 100 mum. Moreover the cost of the CdTe detector is relatively cheaper than that of a scintillation detector which is used in a state-of-the-art X-ray CT system. The purpose of this study is to develop an ultra-high resolution X-ray CT system with room temperature semiconductor detector.
