    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Image Reconstruction
    • X-ray Tomography

    Background:

    • Tomographic imaging reconstructs internal object structures from projection data.
    • Sinograms are generated using X-ray fan beams and recorded via film movement.
    • Image artifacts in sinograms necessitate pre-reconstruction processing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a tomographic imaging method for thin layer objects.
    • To improve image quality by artifact removal before reconstruction.
    • To assess the spatial resolution and contrast capabilities of the proposed method.

    Main Methods:

    • Generating sinograms using a rotating X-ray fan beam.
    • Convolving sinogram images to remove spurious shadows and artifacts.
    • Reconstructing tomograms using a back-projector operating in reverse.

    Main Results:

    • The developed tomographic reconstruction process demonstrated high spatial resolution.
    • Imaging of phantoms, pork chops, and a dog's head was successfully performed.
    • A significant limitation was observed in the low contrast of the reconstructed images.

    Conclusions:

    • The sinogram-based tomographic imaging method is effective for achieving high spatial resolution.
    • Further development is needed to overcome the low contrast limitation for improved diagnostic utility.
    • This technique shows potential for imaging thin layers in various biological and material samples.
