CT scan images of internal resinwood in Scots pine

Resinwood in Scots pine timber resulting from Cronartium pini infection represents an important quality defect, substantially reducing sawn yield and economic value in sawmilling. This dataset generated from X-ray computed tomography (CT) for non-destructive resinwood detection across wood moisture states. Scots pine specimens exhibiting external cankers were harvested and scanned using an industrial MicroTec CT scanner in both green and dry states, included full logs and 3-cm-thick discs. Comparative density analysis identified regions of interest based on elevated density patterns. The scanner produced data using a cone beam and two angled flat detectors on a helical scanning trajectory. The spatial resolution and resulting voxel dimensions were uniform at 0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3 mm³. The resulting 3D images comprised 16-bit greyscale values representing density in kg/m³ at each location, and helical 1PI Katsevich was used for image reconstruction.
