ABSTRACT:
A computerized tomographic apparatus is disclosed, as well as a method of operating such apparatus. In circumstances where collimation between the body under examination and the radiation-sensitive detector means is difficult to apply, errors in evaluated absorption coefficients for locations distributed over a cross-sectional slice of the body due to scatter within the slice are reduced by producing a first estimate of the distribution of said absorption coefficients, using this estimate to obtain an indication of the amount of scatter likely to arise from the various locations when irradiated along different paths and using such indication to effect scatter compensation.
