Editing CT scan (section)

=== Industrial use ===
[[Industrial CT scanning]] (industrial computed tomography) is a process which uses X-ray equipment to produce 3D representations of components both externally and internally. Industrial CT scanning has been used in many areas of industry for internal inspection of components. Some of the key uses for CT scanning have been flaw detection, failure analysis, metrology, assembly analysis, image-based finite element methods<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Evans |first1=Ll.
