Abstract :
A demonstrator of computed tomography (CT) has been designed and built for educational purposes. The system is based on a solid state CdZnTe detector and a standard PC. The mechanics of the system is controlled and data is acquired by programs written in LabVIEW. Computed tomography images are reconstructed using MATLAB programs.
