Abstract
Imaging technology using high energy charged particles can be used to image an object of inspection such as a blast furnace. An example method of imaging a blast furnace includes performing a first moving operation by moving a first particle tracking detector and a second particle tracking detector up or down movement along a height of the blast furnace; performing a second moving operation by moving the first particle tracking detector and the second particle tracking detector clockwise or counterclockwise movement around the blast furnace; and receiving, by the first particle tracking detector, incoming charged particles; receiving, by the second particle tracking detector, outgoing charged particles transiting through the blast furnace; and producing an image of a volume of interest located in between the first particle tracking detector and the second particle tracking detector by processing electrical signals corresponding to the received incoming and outgoing charged particles.
