Method for scanning of an object in a scanning apparatus

A combination of a scanning apparatus for scanning of an object and a jacket in the scanning apparatus, the scanning apparatus comprising:

• a support for the object;
• and
• an imaging beam emitting element and an imaging beam receiving element oppositely disposed to either side of the support, wherein the support is rotatable relative to the emitting and receiving elements about an axis of rotation to allow creation of an image of the object from projections each taken at a different relative angle of rotation;
• and the filled jacket comprising:
• a jacket which surrounds an object or a part of an object to be scanned, wherein a volume of the jacket surrounding the object is a metal solid or filled with a metal filling material, wherein
• the jacket is positioned on the support;
• so that when the scanning apparatus is operated at the multiple relative angles of rotation it produces an image of the object within the jacket.
