This book explores the applications of CT from medical imaging to other fields like physics, archeology and 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.
