CCD and scientific-CMOS detectors for submicron laboratory based X-ray Computed tomography

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The key component of any CT (X-ray computed tomography) machine is a detection system. In area of scientific CT imaging applications three types of sensors are mainly used. These are amorphous silicon (α-Si) flat panels, complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) and charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors. Here the performance and comparison study of the two lastly named sensor types is conducted in field of high resolution CT imaging. CCD and novel sCMOS-based (scientific CMOS) detection systems are tested using high-resolution laboratory-based Rigaku nano3DX system (ability to achieve submicron voxel resolution). Properties of each camera were evaluated as well as the quality and noise properties of acquired data (both projection and CT data).
