Abstract
Given a set of three-dimensionally reconstructed objects and the sourc e X-ray images from which the reconstructions have been derived, it is shown how the uniform or smoothly varying X-ray specific densities (i .e. CT coefficients) of these objects can be derived. It is considered how that information can be used, inter alia, to synthesise conventio nal X-ray images (with unconventional refinements), or to compute tomo graphic slice images (but without textural information).
