WHAT IS LINEAR TOMOGRAPHY

LINEAR TOMOGRAPHY IS ONE OF THE MOST BASIC TECHNIQUE AS THE TUBE AND FILM MOVE FROM THE FIRST POSITION TO THE SECOND,ALL POINTS IN THE FOCAL PLANE PROJECT TO THE SAME POSITION ON THE X-RAY FILM.POINTS ABOVE OR BELOW THE FOCAL PLANE DO NOT PROJECT TO THE SAME FILM POSITIONS AND ARE BLURRED.BY CHANGING THE RELATIVE MOTION OF THE FILM AND TUBE,THE FOCAL PLANE CAN BE ADJUSTED UPWARDS OR DOWNWARDS.

PURPOSE

THE PURPOSE OF LINEAR TOMOGRAPHY IS TO IMAGE ONLY THAT ANATOMY THAT LIES IN A PLANE OF INTEREST,WHILE BLURRING STRUCTURES ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT PLANE

LINEAR TOMOGRAPHY PRINCIPLES

THE X-RAY TUBE IS MOVED IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN ONE DIRECTION WHILE THE FILM MOVES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.AS THESE SHIFT OCCUR,THE X-RAY TUBE CONTINUES TO EMIT RADIATION SO THAT MOST STRUCTURES IN THE PART OF THE BODY UNDER EXAMINATION ARE BLURRED BY MOTION.

LINEAR TOMOGRAPHY OBJECT PLANE
ONLY OBJECTS LYING IN THE OBJECT PLANE ARE PROPERLY IMAGED.OBJECTS ABOVE AND BELOW THIS PLANE ARE BLURRED BECAUSE THEY ARE IMAGED ACROSS THE FILM.
