Abstract:
Apparatus for producing energy pulses of a sufficiently short duration that only a restricted zone of the target image is illuminated at any given instant. A gating apparatus is adapted to admit to a receiving apparatus a sequence of images from the target subject, each of which images corresponds to a different zone of the target subject. The receiving apparatus is coupled to a recording device that presents to the viewer a threedimensional image of the target subject and that stores the image data for subsequent presentation. Several variations of the three-dimensional data acquisition and display devices are disclosed.
