Abstract

In a special radiographic process, ectomography, an image of a slice is produced by simple summation of a set of specially filtered component images, of which each represents one of at least 60 different projections of the object. After being digitized, they are stored, filtered, and summed in a computer. Images representing any slice of any thickness in the object may be produced from the same set of component images. All details within the slice are pictured correctly while details outside are almost completely eliminated.
