Abstract :
A computerized transverse-axial x-ray scanning tomography system has been constructed and operated using inexpensive and readily available components. The system is used only for the scanning of phantoms and the image reconstruction is carried out on an IBM 360/75. Images reconstructed from data taken by the device are able to resolve radiographic density variations of about 1/2% over distances of 0.5 cm.
