Introduction to advanced tomography

Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen, Vedrana Andersen Dahl, Henning Osholm Soerensen, Jakob Sauer Jørgensen, and Jens Wenzel Andreasen

In this course you get the chance to get teaching and hands-on experience with the complete workflow of high-resolution tomography analysis. You will get introduced to data acquisition, 3D reconstruction, segmentation and meshing and, finally, 3D modelling of data to extract physical parameters describing mechanical and flow properties. The teaching and the exercises will take place in close interaction with top experts in the field. Exercises will require some basic programming skills, and will be carried out in a common python environment.
