I went down their rabbit hole, and a conventional tech CT is 10 hours??

My understanding is that material composition can make a CT scan take a really long time. It makes sense to me that scanning a battery would be pretty slow, given what they're made out of.

I just assumed it would be impractical due to physical changes of the object from multi-hour exposure to X-ray energy.

Metal objects don’t change that much due to the radiation.
