Abstract
A method for scanning of an object in a scanning apparatus includes disposing the object and a complementary object on a support of the apparatus, so that the objects are positioned between an imaging beam emitting element and an imaging beam receiving element oppositely disposed to either side of the support. The support is rotatable relative to the emitting and receiving elements about an axis of rotation to allow creation of an image from projections each taken at a different relative angle. A volume of the complementary object is solid or filled with a filling material and the complementary object is configured to reduce the variation in imaging beam attenuation across the objects or the part to be scanned of the object at the multiple relative angles of rotation. The method includes operating the scanning apparatus at the multiple relative angles of rotation to produce an image of the object.
