Summary

This notebook is a step-by-step tutorial to show how to create our first X-ray radiograph. A mono-material object is imaged with a monochromatic source and an ideal detector. We show how to visualise the X-ray radiograph and take a screenshot of the 3D visualisation of the simulation environment.

Aims of this session

1. Create our first X-ray simulation, step-by-step;
2. Save our X-ray image in a file format that preserves the original dynamic range;
3. Visualise the results with 3 different look-up tables;
4. Visualise the 3D environment.
