Why CT Helps Book Conservators
Rare books can hide worm damage, replaced pages, or internal repairs. CT imaging reveals page alignment, ink density, binding structure, and hidden adhesives. It can detect added materials or altered sections.
Detecting Hidden Repairs
CT exposes density differences caused by tape, glue, or replaced pages.
Preserving Fragile Texts
CT allows analysis without opening delicate bindings.
Transforming Conservation Science
Libraries increasingly use CT to study rare manuscripts.
