The Radon Transform And Local Tomography – Proceedings Of A Nato

From the Publisher

Over the past decade, the field of image processing has made tremendous advances. One type of image processing that is currently of particular interest is “”tomographic imaging,”” a technique for computing the density function of a body, or discontinuity surfaces of this function. Today, tomography is widely used, and has applications in such fields as medicine, engineering, physics, geophysics, and security. The Radon Transform and Local Tomography clearly explains the theoretical, computational, and practical aspects of applied tomography. It includes sufficient background information to make it essentially self-contained for most readers.

Booknews

Presents new theories and computational methods aimed at solving problems in tomographic imaging and image processing in general, especially the problem of finding discontinuities of function from tomographic data, and describes the new algorithms and the results of their testing. Offers new results related to helical tomography; inversion of incomplete tomographic data; and inversion of cone-beam data, and contains examples of applications for both simulated and real-life data, plus research problems. For graduate students, researchers, engineers, physicists, and radiologists dealing with processing tomographic data. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
