Saba L. (Ed.) Computed Tomography: Special Applications

InTech, 2011. — 318 p. — ISBN: 9533077239, 9789533077239.The purpose of this publication is to explore the applications of Computed Tomography (CT) from medical imaging to other fields like physics, archaeology ad computer aided diagnosis. Recently interesting technical, anthropomorphic, forensic and archeological as well as paleontological applications of computed tomography have been developed. These applications further strengthen the method as a generic diagnostic tool for non destructive material testing and three dimensional visualization beyond its medical use.Non-Radiological Application.
