ABSTRACT:
A computer tomographic system provides 3-D (three-dimensional) images of interior portions of a body, by scanning in a plurality of substantially orthogonal planes to obtain projection data on a 2-D (two-dimensional) detector surface, for each rotational position within a scanning plane and for each scanning plane. Reconstruction of the image data is obtained by backprojecting the projection data from each plane, and adding together the backprojected values from each plane for providing a 3-D mesh of the image data.
