X-Act​ CTArt : Advanced Artefact Corrections

Phase Contrast Removal

High resolution in X-Ray µCT generally means the occurrence of small angle scattering also known as phase contrast artefacts, especially with low absorbing materials. Phase signal contributions are no longer negligible regarding the X-Ray absorption, resulting in a new contrast phenomena that offers edges enhancements, but a lower absorption contrast between phases.

Beam Hardening Correction

This correction allows you remove beam artefacts from your component without having a proper spectrum estimation. It's a user-guided algorithm offering a simple way to compute the estimated absorption photons curve and correct the image deviation.

Ring Artefact Removal

Ring artefacts result from a non-linear response of the detector which generates circular artefacts centered on the rotation axis. This correction works directly on the projections and preserves the image features/resolution.
