Holographic displays for computer assisted tomography

Generalized holographic methods may be used to provide three-dimensional displays from a series of adjacent tomograms. Two such methods are described. In the first method, the tomograms are simultaneously recorded as a single "space-multiplex" hologram, which thus reproduces the N images in proper relation to each other in space. In the second method, a single hologram of the total volume is theoretically synthesized.
