Abstract: A system for imaging a component defining a negative space is provided comprising a component imaging assembly, a bolus insert, and an imaging device. The bolus insert is positionable in the component's negative space when the component is positioned within an imaging device imaging field to produce a component image. A method is provided comprising positioning a bolus insert within a component's negative space and scanning the component having the bolus insert to create an image of the component. A component imaging assembly is provided comprising a component including a first portion having a first thickness that is greater than a second thickness of a second portion; and a bolus insert positioned adjacent the second portion that has a bolus thickness substantially similar to a difference between the first and second thicknesses. The bolus insert has a bolus material density within fifteen percent (15%) of a component material density.
