Among 3D imaging modalities, computed tomography offers high spatial and temporal resolution, and thus has become a workhorse in clinical imaging. Allowing for near arbitrary sample composition, CT imaging also is highly efficient in various fields of research and nondestructive testing. Increasing demand for improved image fidelity and temporal resolution, as well as specialty applications like phase-contrast imaging, have driven a shift towards synchrotron-based imaging in recent decades. However, current advancements in laboratory hardware and increasing computational capabilities may allow to port some of these applications back to the lab, thus decreasing cost and increasing availability of high-end CT imaging.
