Abstract

Abstract

This technical paper provides an overview of the applications of X-ray Micro Computed Tomography (Micro-CT), with a specific focus on Skyscan 1172 Micro-CT, at the Malaysian Nuclear Agency. Micro-CT is a non-destructive imaging technique that has gained widespread use in scientific and industrial fields. The paper examines the fundamental principles and techniques of Skyscan 1172 Micro-CT and explores its applications in the Malaysian Nuclear Agency for material characterization and defect detection. Additionally, the paper discusses the advantages and limitations of Micro-CT and outlines the challenges and opportunities for its use in Malaysia. Overall, this review aims to provide insights into the potential applications of Micro-CT in Malaysia and to encourage further research and development in this field.
