Ever wanted to build your own low cost xray imaging detector?
This repository includes necessary files for creation and processing of projections, aquiered by the RaspCT scanner. This project is based on a student project of mine for medical systems engineering. The goal is to create a low cost, portable prototype CT imaging system for student experiments.
- 1x Raspberry Pi min. 3B
- 1x Raspberry Pi camera V1
- 1x 10 by 10 cm scintillation screen (from used X-ray casettes, Gd2O2S:Tb recommended)
- 1x Xray source (e.g. Moxtek® MAGPRO 60kV 12W commercial benchtop source)
- 1x Stepper Motor, 4 wire
- 1x Low voltage stepper motor driver (e.g. ST Micro STSPIN220)
- 3D printed tables, enclosures and mounts
- Aluminium profiles for rigid, portable mounting
The cost of all parts was 200 €, excluding the X-Ray source.
