  • Device for measuring the distribution of the absorption of the emission of radiation in a layer of a body
    Patent number: 4167039
    Abstract: In devices for reconstructing the adsorption distribution in a layer of a body on the basis of the measuring values obtained by means of a CT scanner, the measuring values (or values derived therefrom) are "spread" along strips which occupy the same position relative to the image plane as the strips along which the measuring value were obtained. The invention assigns the measuring values to individual image elements, the calculation of weighting factors being eliminated by subdividing each image element into smaller image points (9 to 16 times smaller).
