1. X-Ray Computed Tomography For State Of The Art Plant And Root Analysis

During the last years, the formerly in medical applications established technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT) is used for non-destructive material analysis as well. Adapting this technique for the visualization and analysis of growth processes of plants above and underneath the soil enables new possibilities in the so called smart agriculture. Using State-of-the-art CT systems the computed 3D volume datasets allows the visualization and virtual analysis of hidden structures like roots... S. Reisinger, N. Uhlmann, R. Hanke, S. Gerth
