Provided are embodiments of a method for performing automatic analysis of cross-sections of micro-channels. Embodiments includes receiving tomography scan data, aligning the tomography scan data, and extracting channels from a slice of the tomography scan data to create an isolated slice of the extracted channel. Embodiments also include determining surface voxels for the extracted channels, and determining an area defined within the surface voxels for each of the extracted channels. Embodiments include determining a contribution of the surface voxels for each of the extracted channels to the cross-section of the extracted channels, and outputting cross-section information based on the contribution of the surface voxels. Also provided are embodiments of a system for performing automatic analysis of cross-sections of micro-channels.

Automated channel cross-section measurement for microfluidic channels

A system and method of inspecting a plurality of objects using a computed tomography (CT) system is provided. The method includes acquiring an image of a fixture used for holding the plurality of objects with the CT system. A first electronic model of the fixture is generated. The objects are placed in the fixture. An image of the fixture and the objects is acquired with the CT system. A second electronic model of the fixture and the objects is generated. A third electronic model of the objects is defined based at least in part on subtracting the first electronic model from the second electronic model. Dimensions of the objects from the third electronic model are compared with a computer aided design (CAD) model. A report is output based at least in part on the comparison of the objects from the third electronic model with the CAD model.
