Abstract :
In recent years, Computer Aided Tomography (CAT) has had a major impact on the medical fields of radiology and neurology and nuclear medicine. This paper introduces the basic physics and mathematics underlying the production of reconstructed tomographic images. It discusses the evolution and philosophies of different possible data collection and reconstruction schemes.
