Abstract:
Cosmic ray muons tomography is a non-destructive imaging technique that uses the natural radiation of cosmic ray muons to create tomographic images of objects. This article presents a novel imaging algorithm that effectively utilizes experimental measurement data to achieve rapid and clear imaging of cosmic ray muons. A clear image can be obtained with only 20 min of measurement time and approximately 200 effective muons. However, the current detection flux is only about 0.044 cm[Formula: see text] min[Formula: see text], which is significantly lower than the natural cosmic ray flux of about 1 cm[Formula: see text] min[Formula: see text].

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
