Gantry design based on medical CT scanners: The radiation source and detector rotate vertically around the test object in a gantry configuration. This enables the examination of large objects in their natural horizontal orientation without having to set them up on one side first.

Looking inside an object without having to change it by opening it or taking it apart: This is the goal of nondestructive testing (NDT). However, only items that fit in the testing device can be scanned. In the GiantEye project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is developing an innovative new high-energy computed tomography system at its Development Center X-Ray Technology in Fürth. This system enables nondestructive testing and digitalization of large and complex objects at the highest level of detail.
