Abstract

Scatter correction for tomography: for each position, two images are acquired, a first image without and a second image with a scatter reducing aperture plate (50). A scatter image is calculated by subtracting the second image from the first image. The apertures (48) in the scatter reducing plate (50) are arranged hexagonally in order to optimise the packaging density of the apertures.
