With this project, we aim to acquire a photon-counting multi-line detector with large width and high lateral pixel count. It will enable us to achieve ultra-high resolution tomography slices, and to do this for objects that are too large for our current hardware.  Developing new methods for multi-sensor merging will enable us to provide extremely detailed 3D images from large objects. Additionally, the specific properties of a photon-counting detector, notably the spectral capabilities, will give us the opportunity to explore methods to exploit the polychromatic nature of our X-ray sources and investigate and perform true dual-energy imaging at our facility. As such, this infrastructure will offer unique capabilities to the UGent Centre for X-ray tomography (UGCT), enabling a large number of new research capabilities in numerous research areas, as shown by several letters of interest. The requested infrastructure will thus benefit the consortium, the University community and beyond.
