A novel method for dendrochronology of large historical wooden objects using line trajectory X-ray tomography

Abstract Dendrochronology is an essential tool to determine the date and provenance of wood from historical art objects. As standard methods to access the tree rings are invasive, X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been proposed for non-invasive dendrochronological investigation. While traditional C...
