Industrial Tomography

*Industrial Tomography: Systems and Applications* thoroughly explores the important tomographic techniques of industrial tomography, also discussing image reconstruction, systems, and applications.

The text presents complex processes, including the way three-dimensional imaging is used to create multiple cross-sections, and how computer software helps monitor flows, filtering, mixing, drying processes, and chemical reactions inside vessels and pipelines.

Readers will find a comprehensive discussion on the ways tomography systems can be used to optimize the performance of a wide variety of industrial processes.
