Research Theme		Evaluation of performance of X-ray CT scanning
Brief Explanation		Recent rapid advancement in X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) scanners for industrial applications opens up new research domains. Because of this rapid advancement, there has not been any established way to evaluate performance of CT scanners. So it is very hard for users to select CT scanners suitable to their objectives. In this project, methods to evaluate performance (accuracy and quality of CT images) will be investigated to make a proposal for standard evaluation procedure. This project will be conducted with the help of a group of several Japanese companies.
Research Steps		(Tentative plan) 1. Study on fundamentals (incl. literature survey) (two month) 2. Prototype of samples and experiments (four months) 3. Develop evaluation methods and their review (three months) 4. Writing the final report (one month)
Period		10 months
Necessary Background, Knowledge, Skills		(preferred) computer programming and computer aided design
