Abstract :
Radiographic technology has advanced considerably during the last years with the advent of reconstruction techniques allowing visualization of slices through the body. In spite of the advantage of computed tomography compared to conventional radiographic methods, there are still some shortcomings with the method If a different section of the body is desired, another recording has to be made, the width of the dice reconstructed is fixed, and a full 1800 view angle is required.
