X-ray tomography

Fundamental of the Theory for Adaptive Image Reconstruction in X-Ray Tomography. 

And a rotation of the emitter-receiver transducer around the "object" (or a rotation of the object) gives a annulus of center O and radii [Km, Km] [2]. The situation is identical to that of X-ray tomography (slice-by-slice spectral coverage), but with a band-pass spectral filter instead of a low-pass spectral filter. ... 

Using MRI as a substitute for X ray tomography IS only the first of what are many medical applica tions More he on the horizon If for example the rate of data acquisition could be increased then it would become possible to make the leap from the equivalent of still photographs to motion pictures One could watch the inside of the body as it works— see the heart beat see the lungs expand and con tract—rather than merely examine the structure of an organ...

X-ray tomography as risks to the health of the patient are virtually eliminated and additional information on their medical condition can be obtained.

Toya et al. [13] used X-ray tomography to scan gas/liquid flow in a corrugated structured packing known as Sulzer Mellapak 250 Y. The solids profile of the dry structured packing was reproduced with fair accuracy. The scan was performed in a 60-cm-diameter column. Very thin liquid film flowing past the structure at 0.006 m/s was also detected by the tomography unit.
