Dynamic tomography: high resolution, 4 dimensional process tomography

The core outcome of this research is a set of new imaging technologies that can be applied to problems of commercial and scientific interest, such as: multi-phase fluid displacements, and reactive fluid flows. This work will lead to the first dynamic CT algorithms for the lab-based, high-resolution imaging of processes in complex materials. In a synchrotron-based setting, these algorithms will improve the time resolution of dynamic CT by an order of magnitude, and will allow for the imaging of continually evolving, 'fragile' samples. In this context the definition of fragile is quite broad; any sample which contains a significant amount of water will be damaged/destroyed by classical methods.
