- bsder 3y agoNot really. The big question is how to get an X-ray source with enough energy to penetrate metals and a detector with enough resolution. Everything else can be cheap.
- CamperBob2 3y agoCan't find it at the moment, but someone did in fact create a passable homebrew CT scanner based on a small Faxitron medical-specimen X-ray machine of the sort that can be commonly found on eBay. Edit: found it ( http://www.rtftechnologies.org/physics/faxitron-DX50-CT-scan.html http://www.rtftechnologies.org/physics/faxitron-DX50-CT-scan... ) These machines are good for up to 8-10 layers of 1-oz copper.
