Abstract
Reconstruction algorithms in X-ray computed tomography assume a particular geometrical alignment of the instrument components. Misalignments in the actual instrument contribute to errors in the reconstruction. In previous work, we present an object-based procedure to measure the instrument geometry at a single manipulator position of the sample rotation stage. Here, we present an object-based method to determine error motions of the sample stage manipulator in cone-beam X-ray computed tomography instruments. Results are compared to reference measurements performed using interferometers and electronic levels.Citation
