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