When evaluating dimensions, the crucial thing is the closest possible determination of a surface. Industrial computerized tomography works with relative material densities, therefore, unlike in medical fields, there is no need to assign particular density to individual shades of grey. In some cases, however, determination of material density or a variation of its density in a selected area is required. To establish the percentage of variation in density of a material, any surface determination is sufficient, as a ratio of two relative values is calculated therefrom.

Keywords: computed tomography, density, isosurface
