An intuitive user interface ensures easy acquisition of clear CT images of a sample's internal structure. The new detector and spacious CT stage enable examination of even larger samples.
This single instrument can be used for all kinds of applications, from ever shrinking electronic devices to die-cast aluminum automotive parts.
■ Features
The CT scan auto-positioning function uses Shimadzu's proprietary intuitive positioning system, based on using an exterior camera, and which was well received in the SMX-1000 series. This feature allows determining the CT scan position and CT scan region semi-automatically by interactively deciding respective CT scan parameters one by one via a wizard type interface shown below.
Calibration-Free
Samples can be CT-scanned without the need for calibration. Just set the sample in place and press the start button.
X-ray Parameter Auto-Setup Function
The optimum X-ray parameters for each sample type can be set automatically.
Easy Zooming
A CT scan region display has been added. Since the target region inside the sample is displayed in real time, this allows almost anybody to easily perform high-resolution CT scans. With this function, data from previous CT scans can be used to identify areas of interest for scanning at higher magnifications.
Basic System to Achieve High Performance
System St ructure and Basic Pr inciples
X-ray fluoroscopic data is collected from every angle by rotating the sample 360 degrees, and computed tomographic (CT) images are calculated.
User Inter face
Exterior Camera for Intuitive Manipulation
(Arbitrary cross- sectional display)
Stands for Multi Planar Reconstruction. Multiple CT images are stacked in a virtual space, and four images — a CT image, mutually orthogonal longitudinal section images, and an arbitrary section image orthogonal to the longitudinal section images — are arranged for display.
VR Display
Stands for Volume Rendering.
Multiple CT images are stacked in a virtual
space, and rendered in three dimensions.

Flat Panel Detector (FPD)
| * | A flat panel detector can be installed (on-site) replacing the image intensifier on existing inspeXio SMX-225CT systems. Please contact us for details. |
| * | X-ray should penetrate an inspection part of a sample over all the directions using X-ray maximum output. Right result cannot be obtained when the domain which cannot penetrate X-ray is in an inspection part of a sample. |
