ABSTRACT:
Computed tomography apparatus in which data is acquired during one or more full rotational cycles and suitably stored by scanning a beating heart or similar objects and in which a complete image corresponding to a cross section of the beating heart is produced on a CRT screen and is correlated with a specific portion of the heart cycle reconstructed from the limited data taken during a time interval which is a small fraction of the duration of the heart cycle. Advantageously, the apparatus presents the cross section image of the beating heart and reference data correlated with certain parameters of the cross-section display on the same CRT screen.
