CT investigation of two paintings on wood tables by Gentile da Fabriano

Mobile depth profiling and sub-surface imaging techniques for historical paintings—A review

“…Computed tomography (CT) gives additional information on the wooden panels, as it allows for the acquisition of three dimensional data sets reconstructed from a series of X-ray radiographs [73][74][75]. CT data allows to visualize wormholes, cracks and other features of the internal structure of panel paintings.…”

Utilizing X-ray computed tomography for heritage conservation: The case of Megalosaurus bucklandii

“…XCT and μCT are beginning to grow in popularity as techniques for inspecting the composition and internal structure of restored or degraded objects. Many approaches have been undertaken in this field, including the restoration of stonework (6,7), evaluating the subsurface construction of artwork (8,9) and even in identifying high-profile, elaborate forgeries (10). The major draws of utilizing this technique for inspecting the condition of an object is the ability to retain the integrity of the original specimen through non-invasive imaging while revealing the morphology and construction of the internal structure (11,12,13).…”

From closed testaments to books: Virtual X-ray Reading as an alternate digitization technology for fragile documents

“…Going beyond the medical field, in recent years it became a routine investigation tool for Cultural Heritage objects like sculptures, paintings and others [2][3][4][5].…”
