Résumé
In radiography, X-ray microtomography uses X-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object that can be used to recreate a virtual model (3D model) without destroying the original object. It is similar to tomography and X-ray computed tomography. The prefix micro- (symbol: μ) is used to indicate that the pixel sizes of the cross-sections are in the micrometre range. These pixel sizes have also resulted in creation of its synonyms high-resolution X-ray tomography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT or μCT), and similar terms. Sometimes the terms high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and micro-CT are differentiated, but in other cases the term high-resolution micro-CT is used. Virtually all tomography today is computed tomography. Micro-CT has applications both in medical imaging and in industrial computed tomography. In general, there are two types of scanner setups. In one setup, the X-ray source and detector are typically stationary during the scan while the sample/animal rotates. The second setup, much more like a clinical CT scanner, is gantry based where the animal/specimen is stationary in space while the X-ray tube and detector rotate around. These scanners are typically used for small animals (in vivo scanners), biomedical samples, foods, microfossils, and other studies for which minute detail is desired. The first X-ray microtomography system was conceived and built by Jim Elliott in the early 1980s. The first published X-ray microtomographic images were reconstructed slices of a small tropical snail, with pixel size about 50 micrometers. Fan beam reconstruction The fan-beam system is based on a one-dimensional (1D) X-ray detector and an electronic X-ray source, creating 2D cross-sections of the object. Typically used in human computed tomography systems. Cone beam reconstruction The cone-beam system is based on a 2D X-ray detector (camera) and an electronic X-ray source, creating that later will be used to reconstruct the image cross-sections.

Rendu volumique direct
Le rendu volumique direct est une technique utilisée pour afficher une projection 2D d'une série de données 3D. Le rendu volumique direct nécessite que chaque valeur échantillonnée au sein du volume soit associée à une opacité et une couleur. Mathématiquement, cela revient à dire qu'on dispose d'une fonction de transfert : où est la région de l'espace où la fonction est définie, et est l'espace de couleurs utilisé (par exemple ou si les couleurs sont définies par leurs valeurs RGB).
Radiographie
vignette|droite|redresse=1.2|Radiographie pulmonaire numérisée. La radiographie est une technique d', par rayons X dans le cadre de la radiographie X, ou par rayons gamma en gammagraphie. Les rayons X sont des ondes électromagnétiques de hautes fréquences de l'ordre de 1016 Hz à 1020 Hz et qui pénètrent la matière condensée (solides et liquides). Elle permet d'obtenir un cliché dont le contraste dépend à la fois de l'épaisseur et du coefficient d'atténuation des structures traversées.
