Status of the synchrotron-based computed tomography system, called multiple energy computed tomography (MECT), is described. MECT, that uses monochromatic beams from the X17 superconducting wiggler beam line at the National Synchrotron Light Source, will be used for imaging the human head and neck. An earlier prototype MECT produced images of phantoms and living rodents. This report summarizes the studies with the prototype, and describes the design, construction, and test results of the clinical MECT system components. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
