Abstract:
A variety of teeth and bone specimens have been scanned using the constant statistics tomographic scanner developed at the London Hospital Medical College. Each data set has been reconstructed with several Hamming filters, and for a geometric resolution ranging from 20 to 50 micrometers. The reconstructions have been studied using the approximate error formula for the convolution backprojection algorithm. Some inferences are made on the relative structure of the cross sections.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
