| dc.description | The tomographic techniques can be used in many industries to explore the interior of their objects, for
example, (a) to act as the quality control of industrialized products or (b) to diagnose and identify
failure in their production devices. Commonly, the industrial objects are chemical reactors, packaging
of foods, encapsulated medicaments, columns of petroleum distillation, combustion engines, among
other industrial objects. A portable tomography system known as instant-non-scanning type, a similar
version of the fourth generation CT, was developed in this work. It comprises 70 NaI(Tl) detectors with
the same number of multichannel type acquisition boards.One of the advantages of industrial
tomography is that it allows inferring the quality of the production line without interrupting the
production. The tomographic system described in this work is capable to obtain measurements in real
time and requires no movement of radiation sources and detectors. The tomographic system,
proposed in this work, allows the introduction of a radioactive tracer inside the industrial object, for
example a tube or chemical reactor and then the user will obtain the reconstruction images of a
tomographic emission system together to the transmission image. By means of radioactive sources
positioned externally to the object the user will obtain the reconstructed images of the transmission
tomographic system. Therefore, this article describes an innovative hybrid industrial tomographic
system, capable of generating both emission and transmission tomographic images simultaneously. | |
