Jerman Memorial Lecture. Computer reconstruction of radiographic images. 1980

L T Gurley

The use of computers in radiographic film analysis is being seriously investigated in this country and in other parts of the world. The potential impact on radiologic technology should be considered and examined. This paper will give an overview of some of the work being done and the implications for the future in radiologic technology.

D013679	Technology, Radiologic	The application of scientific knowledge or technology to the field of radiology. The applications center mostly around x-ray or radioisotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes but the technological applications of any radiation or radiologic procedure is within the scope of radiologic technology.

D015502	Absorptiometry, Photon	A noninvasive method for assessing BODY COMPOSITION. It is based on the differential absorption of X-RAYS (or GAMMA RAYS) by different tissues such as bone, fat and other soft tissues. The source of (X-ray or gamma-ray) photon beam is generated either from radioisotopes such as GADOLINIUM 153, IODINE 125, or Americanium 241 which emit GAMMA RAYS in the appropriate range; or from an X-ray tube which produces X-RAYS in the desired range. It is primarily used for quantitating BONE MINERAL CONTENT, especially for the diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, and also in measuring BONE MINERALIZATION.
