ABSTRACT:
Radiological apparatus is described which is capable of performing analogue superposition of respective signals indicative of the absorption suffered by penetrating radiation on traversing each of a plurality of co-planar, linear paths through a body, some of which paths intersect. The signals are altered by processing to render them suitable for additive superposition, and the superposition is achieved by means of at least one charge storage tube. The altered signals, or signals related thereto, are applied to the target (or targets) of the tube (or tubes) and are deposited on respective linear regions thereof, the orientation of a linear region relative to the target (or targets) corresponding to the orientation relative to the body of the path giving rise to the relevant signal.
