ABSTRACT
Terahertz tomography is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique allowing for analyzing and visualizing the internal structure of a 3D object. Its principle consists in recording on a detector adapted to this radiation, 2D images obtained from various angles and reconstructing with algorithms the cross-sections of the object. Due to its properties, this technique offers new perspectives in the NDT, in particular for the analysis of low-density industrial material, works of art and cultural inheritage materials.
