New X-ray Detector Delivers High-Quality 3D Images in Real Time

Scientists at the Development Center for X-Ray Technology EZRT have designed an advanced X-ray detector called MULIX, which can be incorporated into industrial computed tomography (CT) systems. The X-ray detector is built on the design of medical X-ray machines. Its adjustable curvature improves image quality and at the same time enables excellent flexibility, thus making it possible to adapt the device to different material properties and sizes of test objects.
