Setting up a CT scan - No judgement here! Whether you are a new student/staff member just getting going with CT, or a seasoned pro we could all benefit from the experience of others in how to set up a scan. How do I select my kV? What is spot size and why should I care? How should I tackle a high-aspect ratio object? There are no question too simple - this is your chance to engage with others in your field!

I wish CT could... - Are there particular types of scans you wish you could perform? What is the most critical future development to advance your research? Bringing together users, programmers and industry we will together identify future needs, and also try to solve your complex scanning requirements.
