With the advent of industrial computed tomography (CT or reconstruction from projections), which is of much wider scope than medical CT, the basic mathematical and physical assumptions need to be reconsidered. This paper considers the ramifications of the indeterminacy theorem and the underdetermined nature of the reconstruction equations. A search for truth rather than honesty in their solutio...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) systems with high resolution (also known as micro-CT systems) have been developed over the last two decades and have been used with great success in small animal studies. A micro-CT scanner is based on the same underlying physical principle as a clinical CT scanner, but it is designed for higher-resolution imaging. It produces three-dimensional (3D) tomographic da...

Most existing X-ray computed tomography (CT) techniques work in single-mounted mode and need to scan the inspected objects one by one. It is time-consuming and not acceptable for the inspection in a large scale. In this paper, we report a multi-mounted CT method and its first engineering implementation. It consists of a multi-mounted scanning geometry and the corresponding algebraic iterative r...

background: to suggest south india ct diagnostic reference levels (drls) by collecting radiation doses for the most commonly performed ct examinations. materials and methods: a pilot study investigated the most frequent ct examinations. 110 ct sites were asked to complete a survey booklet to allow the recording of ct parameters for each of 3 ct examinations during a 1 year time period. dose dat...

Dear Prof. Mozdarani,I would like to discuss about some important aspects regarding the article published in, "Iran. J. Radiat. Res., 2012 10(2): 89-94“ with title of “Patient doses from X-ray computed tomography examinations by a single-array detector unit: Axial versus spiral mode" by Ghavami et al. (1), so according to journal policy and in suitable manner please ask the authors to rep...
