Abstract
A method for scanning at least one component includes placing the at least one component inside a storage vessel; filling the storage vessel with a cryogenic material; cooling the at least one component; placing the storage vessel between an x-ray source and a detector of a CT scanner; generating, via the x-ray source, an x-ray cone beam after cooling of the component that passes through the storage vessel while the at least one component is disposed within the storage vessel; receiving the x-ray cone beam at the detector; and generating an x-ray image of the at least one component.
