Use of Holography to make Truly Three-dimensional X-ray Images

Abstract

Two of us1–3 recently described how holographic multiplexing has been used to produce three-dimensional reconstructions of people and large scenes from a sequence of conventional ciné camera views. This communication reports an extension of the technique to the production of truly three-dimensional X-ray images which display all the usual characteristics of holographic reconstructions.
