ABSTRACT:
A method of examining a patient with x-rays is described in which x-ray measurements are taken of the attenuation suffered by x-radiation when projected across a cross-sectional slice of a patient's body along each of many substantially linear beam paths and are subjected to compensated back-projective processing to produce an x-ray picture representing the variation of attenuation of the radiation with position over the slice. Beam paths which are next to each other in space are arranged to overlap each other.
