The conference is a platform for researchers and teams active in the field of x-ray tomography to exchange on the latest progress in instrumentation, algorithms, and non-destructive three-dimensional characterization. Several thousand x-ray tomography systems are currently operated in industry and academia and thousands more in clinics. While conventional attenuation contrast imaging is dominant, other forms of tomographic x-ray imaging are emerging. The huge amount of generated data requires state-of-the-art software for image reconstruction and analysis. Several technical advancements are enabling or pushing applications of tomography in pathology, tissue engineering, anthropology, etc. It is increasingly common to produce impressive imagery of unique objects and derive relevant features of the underlying structures and dynamics. Furthermore, multi-modal imaging, which recently incorporates the reciprocal space information, has started to play an increasingly important role. The Developments in X-ray Tomography conference series warmly welcomes PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in the field. In order to support their career advancement, we will again recognize and award the best poster presented by a PhD student as the first author, the best oral presentation and proceedings paper. This conference encourages interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations. Scientists and experts are openly invited from medicine/dentistry, biology, earth and materials science, crystallography, solid-state and soft-matter physics, chemistry, computer sciences, engineering and applied mathematics to present results on system instrumentation, algorithm design and evaluation, and current applications. Papers are solicited on the following and related topics:
