Computed Tomography (CT) Services

The Dallas facility houses ESi's industrial CT scanner – a state-of-the-art technology used in evidence preservation and interrogation.  CT imaging is non-destructive and provides high resolution, accurate 3D images of an object and its internal structures.  These images can be viewed from any angle, manipulated, and graphically deconstructed and reconstructed layer-by-layer.  The CT scanner and its real-time x-ray capabilities are also available for independent analyses and industrial clients.
