Abstract
Feasibility of applying Compton Interaction Tomographic (CIT) processes for nondestructive testing of massive extended systems is studied on a laboratory prototype device. The principles of Compton interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter underly the technique. Experimental studies are conducted to detect features such as iron rebars and air voids contained in a concrete medium. Computer simulation studies have been made to supplement experimental results.
