My understanding is that material composition can make a CT scan take a really long time. It makes sense to me that scanning a battery would be pretty slow, given what they're made out of.
- xattt 1y agoI just assumed it would be impractical due to physical changes of the object from multi-hour exposure to X-ray energy.
- kragen 1y agoI don't think ionizing atoms inside a battery will harm it. They don't have DNA.
- adwn 1y agoI don't know about batteries, but ionizing radiation can definitely permanently damage microelectronics, and those don't have DNA either.
- VectorLock 1y agoThankfully functionality isn't usually necessary to get a successful scan, unlike living targets.
- kragen 1y agoIt can, yes, but batteries also don't have microelectronics.
- habi 1y agoMetal objects don’t change that much due to the radiation.
