Outline of Final Research Achievements

As development of backscatter X-ray tomography for non-destructive inspection of large structures, we conducted construction of a prototype system, consideration of optimum image reconstruction and performance evaluation for the developed system. We constructed the prototype backscatter X-ray tomography system consisting of a X-ray tube, a medical X-ray flat-panel detector and parallel plate collimators. Parameters of the parallel plate collimators were concluded to be 0.5mm thick and 0.5mm spacing. ML-EM method was considered to be optimum as an image reconstruction algorithm. Consequently, we successfully obtained a tomographic image with backscatter X-ray system when the parallel plate collimator was set in seven directions with 15 degrees pitch. We concluded that the backscatter X-ray system is feasible as non-destructive inspection for large structures.
