Horus - advanced reconstruction integrated into X-Act


Improve the quality of your tomography reconstructions without having to upgrade your CT system. Horus is our in-house advanced reconstruction software, directly integrated into your X-Act software.

Horus brings a major improvement in the quality of reconstructed images, in particular for:
  • Metal parts
  • Multi-material components
  • Parts that are difficult to penetrate

Typical examples of Horus use:
  • Electromechanical assemblies
  • Metal/plastic connectors
  • Electronic boards and printed circuits
  • Metrology
  • Molding
  • Aerospace blades
  • Medical devices (injector pens, stents, pacemakers)
  • Sprayers and pumps (plastic/spring assemblies)
  • Additive manufacturing

Performance gain, without modifying the system

Horus significantly improves reconstructed image quality and the accuracy of metrology measurements on your RX Solutions system, with no hardware upgrade. By reducing artifacts and improving contrast and homogeneity, it optimizes the reconstruction while allowing shorter scans with fewer projections.

Horus: advanced reconstructions, even on demanding parts

Tomography inspection of multi-material, metal or highly attenuating components is a major challenge in non-destructive testing. Traditional algorithms reach their limits with these demanding configurations, producing degraded images and numerous artifacts that compromise dimensional analysis and defect detection.

Thanks to its advanced algorithms, Horus drastically reduces artifacts and improves contrast, turning difficult raw data into usable images ready for automated analysis.

Metal parts

Strong X-ray absorption generating noise and artifacts.

Multi-material assemblies

Differences in attenuation creating overexposed or underexposed areas.

 Attenuating components

Beam hardening and scatter degrading image quality.

: Standard reconstruction on a multi-material part – visible artifacts, limited contrast


Optimized reconstruction with Horus on a multi-material part – reduced artifacts, optimized contrast

Divide your scan time.

Horus’s advanced algorithms drastically reduce your acquisition time. With only 25% of the usual projections, you get better image quality than a scan using 100% of the projections with fast reconstruction in X-Act.
By dividing your acquisition times, you turn your CT system into a true production tool.

HorusWhy use Horus for your complex reconstructions?

Horus’s value is an algorithm designed to integrate natively into your X-Act ecosystem and to be compatible across the entire line.
01

Compatible across all the lines

EasyTom S/L/XL, L-450 and beyond: Horus works across all RX Solutions systems, regardless of model
02

Enhanced metrological reliability

A more homogeneous, less noisy reconstruction stabilizes segmentation and contributes to more reliable dimensional measurements.
03

Zero disruption in use

Your X-Act interface stays the same: no additional training, no change in habits for your teams.
04

Seamless integration

Horus builds on X-Act, our proprietary software with more than 30 person-years of development, for a perfectly seamless integration.

FAQ Horus

Does Horus require a hardware upgrade?
No hardware upgrade is needed for your CT system. The reconstruction PC does matter, though: we recommend at least an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card and 256 GB of RAM.
Which CT systems is Horus compatible with?
All RX Solutions CT systems are compatible. Only an outdated reconstruction PC can prevent Horus from working.
Does my X-Act interface change?
The interface stays the same, but fewer optimization tabs are displayed when Horus is selected for the reconstruction.
Is there an impact on metrology?
A more homogeneous, less noisy reconstruction stabilizes segmentation and contributes to more reliable measurements.
Can I reduce the number of projections?
Yes. You can reduce the number of projections during acquisition to save scan time, with equivalent or better quality.
Do I need an up-to-date X-Act?
Yes. Horus requires the latest X-Act update, version 25.09. Earlier versions cannot use it.
