Abstract

To enhance the accuracy of dimensional measurements performed using X-ray computed tomography (CT) systems, a number of influence factors have to be studied, including the system geometry. Geometrical misalignments of X-ray source, rotation axis and X-ray detector may lead to image artefacts in the reconstructed volume and to measurement errors. Starting from the geometrical parameters which were found critical in a previous study, this work investigates how the measurement errors of CT systems with known geometrical misalignments are affected by the influence of the magnification factor and the focal spot size. A simulation campaign was carried out using the geometry of a reference object specifically designed for CT systems testing.
