RX Solutions launches Horus, an advanced reconstruction module designed toenhance CT reconstruction quality—without any hardware upgrade

 
RX Solutions, a specialist in high‑resolution industrial computed tomography, unveils Horus, an advanced reconstruction module integrated into its proprietary X‑Act platform. Horus delivers significantly improved image quality and measurement reliability across the entire RX Solutions CT system range—with no hardware changes required. Horus drastically reduces artifacts, mitigates beam hardening, and enhances contrast, enabling the successful reconstruction of scans previously considered unusable, particularly for metal parts, multi‑material assemblies, and highly attenuating components.

Impossible reconstructions now possible

Horus pushes the boundaries of computed tomography by enabling the reconstruction of parts traditionally regarded as difficult: high‑density components, complex multi‑material assemblies, or acquisition setups with constraints (limited angles, partial trajectories). The module produces homogeneous, interpretable, and directly usable volumes, whereas classical methods often resulted in images that were challenging to fully exploit.

 
This capability substantially expands the scope of CT applications, allowing laboratories and industrial users to analyze a much wider range of parts and materials—without investing in a new X‑ray generator. By extending the ability of existing systems to handle dense materials or complex configurations, Horus provides the equivalent of a hardware upgrade through a simple software activation. The result: improved ROI on existing equipment and reduced capital expenditure to achieve performance levels comparable to far more expensive high‑energy setups.
 

Up to 4× more scans at equivalent quality

Beyond image quality, Horus also boosts scanning throughput. Depending on the use case, the module can significantly reduce the number of projections (down to 25% of the original dataset) while maintaining—or even improving—the final image quality. This leads to scan times divided by four, minimized radiation for sensitive samples, faster decision‑making, and a significant reduction in re‑scans, with the added benefit of less data to process and store.

 
 

Cleaner images, more reliable measurements

By reducing artifacts and improving the homogeneity of reconstructed volumes, Horus stabilizes segmentation, strengthens inspection routines, and enhances measurement accuracy. Surface determination becomes more robust, reducing the need for manual corrections and accelerating analysis workflows. Teams can rely on cleaner and more consistent data for their metrology processes.

 

Seamless integration into X‑Act

Horus is directly integrated into X‑Act, activated simply by selecting the corresponding reconstruction mode—no interface changes and immediate usability. The module is compatible with the full RX Solutions CT system portfolio. Technical support and training are provided by the RX Solutions team (France).

 

“With Horus, we enable our customers to perfectly reconstruct scans that were previously unusable. Users obtain cleaner, more homogeneous volumes and can significantly accelerate their scan series—without modifying their equipment. It is an immediate gain in productivity and analytical confidence, fundamentally transforming the capabilities of their CT systems.”
— Roland Le Floc'h, Product Manager at RX Solutions
