Summary

Abstract We have developed a γ -ray computed tomography system using a CdTe double-sided strip detector. Owing to a 250 μm fine strip pitch and high energy resolution with photon-counting capability, the system provides highly accurate images, with which the materials and their distributions inside the target can be determined according to the photon transmittances. We evaluated the key performance of the system, conducting transmission measurements for Al, Cu, and Pb plates and also for Al, Fe, Cu, and Pb rod-phantoms, both using X-rays (∼30 keV) and γ -rays (∼80 keV) from a 133 Ba source. The measured transmittances agreed well with the calculated values from simulations. We successfully reconstructed the three-dimensional structure of the rod-phantom and distinguished the elements insid
