X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) is now becoming an accessible technology to quantify soil structure metrics. However, optimising images from X-ray CT systems remains a challenging task. Understanding the influence of the wide range of settings that control the X-ray source and detector, in addition to the procedures relating to preparing a sample for scanning, can be overwhelming. In this chapter, the aim is to demystify these factors and provide a simple, user-friendly, guide for acquiring the best quality tomography data possible from soil samples.
