ABSTRACT:
An instrument for obtaining quantitative, three-dimensional and tomographic information relating to x-ray and gamma-ray emitting objects and for the orthoscopic viewing of such objects includes a multiple-pinhole aperture plate (22) held spaced from an x-ray or gamma-ray to visible-light converter (24) which is coupled to a visible-light image intensifier (26). The spacing between the aperture plate and the converter is chosen such that the mini-images of an emitting object formed by the pinholes do not substantially overlap as they impinge on the converter. The output of the image intensifier is digitized by a digitizing camera (36) in terms of position and intensity and fed into a digital computer (40,42). The computer may output quantitative information relating to the emitting object directly, such as that relating to tomograms, or provide information in analogue form when coupled with a suitable viewing device (52,54), to give an orthoscopic, three-dimensional image of the object.
