pubmed-article:1178847 | pubmed:abstractText | The principle of holography is briefly described. Applications to 3-D imaging with X-radiation are discussed. Two holographic methods for displaying 3-D images or synthesizing tomograms of X-ray objects are introduced. The first utilizes a synthetic hologram. It is composed of the holograms of a set of conventional radiographs showing the object from various perspectives. In the second method a coded image is formed by using a statistical array of X-ray sources. For synthesizing tomograms this image is decoded by means of a holographic filtering procedure. First experimental results are demonstrated. | lld:pubmed |
