Abstract

The present invention seeks to reduce the burden of producing high-resolution tomograms by using an initial scan on a predetermined gridto obtain a minimal set of images, and then regions of interestare identified for further scanning. The further scanning locationsare determined by image entropy or gradient found in the previous iteration; such regions are indicative of edges, cracks or complex structure within the region. After each iteration, the level of information (e.g. image entropy or gradient) will decrease relative to the pixel/voxel size. In this way, a more efficient way to scan is achieved.
