摘要:
A tomographic imaging system is disclosed in which the quantity of absorption or transmittance of a transmissive radiation by or through a certain tomographic cross-section of an object under consideration is detected and the distribution of radiation absorption or transmittance in the cross-section is reconstructed through a convolution operation. A weighting function used in the convolution operation is prepared with a predetermined one of its positive orders the value of which is an integration of the weighting function from the predetermined positive order to positive infinity and a predetermined one of its negative orders the value of which is in integration of the weighting function from the predetermined negative order to negative infinity.

In a system in which the tomographic image of an object under investigation is produced on the basis of the amount of absorption of radiation by the object when a source of radiation and a plurality of radiation sensitive detectors with the object interposed therebetween are rotated around the object, the output signal from at least one of the plural detectors is used to correct the radiation absorption amount. Another selected one of the plural detectors may be used for checking whether the object is positioned within a useful detection view.

A method is disclosed in which projection images of a certain cross-section of an object are produced through irradiation from various directions to the cross-section, and a three-dimensional image of the cross-section is reconstructed from the projection images. A convolution integral operation is performed on the projection images by means of a weighting function obtained from a function whose second differentiation is positive in at least a predetermined range of a spacial frequency domain and which has a positive first-differential coefficient at a point where the spacial frequency is equal to zero.
