Scan procedure generation systems and methods to generate scan procedures

Abstract

An example scan procedure generation system includes: a display; a processor; and a computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: output, via the display, a first visual representation of an arrangement of a radiation source, a radiation detector, a workpiece positioner, and a workpiece; and based on positions and orientations of the radiation source, the radiation detector, the workpiece positioner, and the workpiece, generate a scanning procedure for execution by a physical scanner having a physical radiation source, a physical radiation detector, and a physical workpiece positioner, wherein the generated scanning procedure comprises a plurality of movements of one or more of the physical radiation source, the physical radiation detector, and the physical workpiece positioner and a plurality of image captures to capture a plurality of scan images of a physical workpiece corresponding to the workpiece in the first virtual representation.
