When Raspberry PI and open source meet tomography, it's on budget

This:

is called KBLT - Kitchen-Based Light Tomography.
A low cost tomography tech that may be an enabler for low budget businesses with specific needs, or for any task compatible with its purposes. Why do I need to specify this? Because it is based on the visible spectrum of the light, therefore it's less powerful and detailed than X-rays solutions.

But, hey! It's low-cost. Plus, open source and Raspberry PI based. That's more than enough to be cool.

Let's figure out some possible application in the fields I particularly love:

Digital Transformation
Well, here it's a matter of imagination:

3D mapping of in-/outdoor
Scan animal -human as well- and plant's body for academic and research purposes, like monitoring their growth or make a comparative analysis
Scan the 3d shape of fluids, eg to study their movement
...

Industry 4.0
I see KBLT in quality control, of course. By checking the insides of objects for defects. Perfect for small manufacturers wanting to level up their tech game. The OEE would be thankful.

Space industry
KBLT can inspect satellites and rockets for damages, ensuring their safety. It would also be a great educational tool for the of training of future space scientists. Who knows, maybe KBLT will lead to more advanced on budget imaging tools for space missions in the future.

Let's keep an eye on any development.

Digital Transformation VS Tools Implementation

Recently, I had an enlightening conversation some representative of the healthcare sector—a division within the NHS. They were exploring ways to integrate new digital tools into their existing systems. As we delved deeper, a common misconception surfaced: the idea that simply adding digital tools equates to digital transformation. In

From Digital Transformation to Linux: Connecting the Dots

With experience in both Digital Transformation Consultancy and Linux Administration, I’ve been reflecting on how these areas intersect. Digital Transformation starts with an organisation strategy—it’s a holistic approach that integrates technology into every area of the business. While tech is at the core, people, processes and all

[Case Study] General Practice: Reducing Wait Times, Enhancing Patient Care. An RDT Initiative.

In healthcare, where demands are ever-increasing and time is of the essence regardless of the country, RedDog Transformation (RDT) steps in with a visionary and human-centric approach to revolutionise patient care. Recognising the challenges faced by the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, particularly in General Practice (GP) accessibility,
