The ArborSonic3D acoustic tomograph is a device that performs analysis of cross sections of wooden elements in a non-destructive way. The present work shows the application of this device as a method of identifying internal flaws in five specimens of four different species of wood, namely Garapa, Pinus, Roxinho, and two elements of Maçaranduba. The use of the tomograph generates results in tomograms and graphs that allow identifying that the visual appearance of the specimens is consistent with their internal state. The compatibility of these results show the potential of using this non-destructive technique to be used on living elements, without the need to fell trees for analysis, thus being able to diagnose trees with structural failures and help in the safety management of public or forest areas.
