Large area scintillation screens coupled to video and scientific-grade CCD cameras allow high speed digital data acquisition for both single 2-D x-ray projections and tomographic data sets comprised of multiple 2-D projections. While the data cquisition may proceed more rapidly than data acquisition using a linear detector array, there are geometric distortions associated with the projection cone angle long processing times for 3-D tomographic data. This paper reviews issues associated with processing and interpretation of the data and approaches to resolving some of the problems for containerized waste inspection. Results obtained with the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory`s Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography scanner are presented.
