A γ-ray computed tomography(CT) demonstrator based on fan-beam projection has been designed and built for education purpose
in which the principles of CT
its data acquisition and image reconstruction is presented.The system consists of a 137Cs source of 7.4×108 Bq
five-channel detectors using plastic scintillator and photo multiplier tube(PMT)
a standard PC and an image processing and reconstruction software.The mechanics of the system is controlled and data is acquired by programs written in Visual C++.CT images are reconstructed using the presented software or MATLAB programs.
