CBCT Software –
Varex Imaging, a leading supplier of flat panel x-ray detectors used for 2D and 3D imaging, provides a companion image processing library with correction algorithms that are physics-based corrections and both Feldkamp and Statistical CBCT reconstruction in an easy-to-use software toolkit: CBCT Software Tools, or CST for short.
CST comprises a suite of Windows-based software libraries that enables OEMs to quickly develop software that produces high-quality 2D images or 3D reconstructions for industrial applications. Scattered radiation from the part, room, and detector impacts the achievable image fidelity as contrast is reduced, and resolution is degraded. CST has scatter correction algorithms, 2D and 3D VSharp™, as well as a machine learning-based scatter algorithm that significantly improves image quality in radiography and reconstructed images at industrial x-ray energies. In addition, a multi-material beam hardening algorithm reduces the cupping artifact seen in 3D reconstructed images and improves CT number uniformity. And REA, our resolution enhancement algorithm, removes the impact of scintillator light spread, producing crisper, higher resolution images.
Our tomographic reconstruction software encapsulates individual processing steps into separate plugins. Thus, a host application can use any or all of the plugins provided. At the heart of our cone beam imaging software is the Image Processing Pipeline for simplified integration with parameters stored in standard XML files. This library manages the available plugins and acts as the single interface between an OEM host application and the CST plugins.

Varex Industrial Sub-systems providing engineered solutions for industrial applications. Combining market-leading components to create sub-systems optimized to the users’ needs. These subsystems are verified and tested before delivery ensuring maximum reliability out-of-the box.

High Energy (HE) scanning allows inspection of highly dense and critical parts such as those used in the aerospace, defense, and automotive industries. Typical applications readily scanned by High Energy systems include large and complex assemblies, rocket engines and tanks, nickel-based alloys, combustion chambers, engine blocks, turbine blades, and more.
Varex Imaging can guide you to success in developing a complete HE system. Our products are specifically designed to withstand the extreme stresses and unique imaging challenges of linear accelerator-based systems. In addition, Varex Imaging has a proven track record in high-energy DR and CT system components.

Our X-Ray detectors are designed to meet a broad spectrum of imaging applications in the industrial and security industries. Varex Imaging X-ray detectors prevent geometric distortion and minimize the effects of magnetic fields and radiation. The technology found in our detectors allows our customers to take full advantage of superior digital image quality and high throughput and CT capabilities. These detectors present a uniform, undistorted, high-resolution image throughout the field of view, enabling technicians to take images of the internal structures of objects such as electronic circuits and mechanical parts.

Our high-energy linear accelerators (also known as Linacs), Linatron™, can be found in most cargo screening systems worldwide. They reliably generate the necessary energy to penetrate completely loaded containers fully and carefully sense different materials.
As Varex Imaging continues to innovate and advance imaging technologies, our portfolio of linear accelerators includes interlaced dual-energy technology that offers even greater material discrimination than ever before. We also have an option to alternate X-ray energies on a pulse-to-pulse basis.
