Rentgenowska tomografia komputerowa (CT) jest techniką posiadającą ogromne możliwości zastosowania w różnych dyscyplinach nauk o ziemi. Ujawnia ona wewnętrzną strukturę obiektów, determinowaną przez różnicę w gęstości. Można na jej podstawie uzyskać duże ilości równoległych przekrojów 2D, które umożliwiają trójwymiarowe odwzorowanie wybranych właściwości. Najważniejszymi zastosowaniami są badania porowatości i możliwości transportowania płynów; stosowane w badaniach geologii naftowej, mechaniki skalnej i gleboznawstwie. W pracy przytoczono trzy szczególnie interesujące przypadki zastosowania x-ray CT w badaniach rdzeni wiertniczych.

Roentgen computed tomography (CT) is a technique with wide application capabilities in many disciplines of earth sciences. It reveals internal object structure determined by density differences. This technique allows obtaining many 2D parallel slices, which enable spatial imaging of some features. Most important applications are porosity measurements and fluid transport capabilities which are used in oil geology researches, rock mechanics and soil science. This article shows three interesting x-ray CT applications in rock core researches.
