How to Verify Accuracy in CT Dimensional Analysis (Rigaku Blog, Angela Criswell & Jakub Šalplachta – CactuX) establishes a rigorous methodology for dimensional and grayscale calibration to ensure the metrological traceability of computed tomography data.
3D resolution in microCT: a comparison study on visual resolution versus MTF measurement (Valton, S., Lietaert, E., & Moyau, P. (2025). e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing Vol. 30(8)) evaluates the correlation between visual resolution assessments and objective Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measurements to refine 3D image quality characterization in industrial microCT.
Scale correction in submicron computed tomography with a submillimeter field of view (Zemek, M., Blažek, P., Šalplachta, J., et al. (2025) Tomography of Materials and Structures, Vol. 7.) presents advanced scale correction techniques for submicron CT imaging to mitigate measurement errors within restricted submillimeter fields of view.
Voxel Size Calibration for High-resolution CT (Zemek, M., Blažek, P., Šrámek, J., et al. (2020). The e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing, Wels) defines essential calibration protocols for precise voxel size determination, forming the fundamental prerequisite for quantitative high-resolution dimensional analysis.
3D Spatial Resolution Evaluation for Helical CT According to ASTM E1695–95 (Lázňovský, J., Břínek, A., Šalplachta, J., et al. (2020). e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing) provides a standardized framework for evaluating 3D spatial resolution in helical CT scanning in strict accordance with the ASTM E1695–95 international industrial standard.
