Abstract
A form of three-dimensional X-ray imaging, called Object 3-D, is intro duced, where the relevant subject material is represented as discrete 'objects'. The surface of each such object is derived accurately from the projections of its outline, and of its other discontinuities, in a bout ten conventional X-ray views, distributed in solid angle. This te chnique is suitable for many applications, and permits dramatic saving s in radiation exposure and in data acquisition and manipulation. It i s well matched to user-friendly interactive displays.
