Past and future directions in x‐ray computed tomography (CT)

We give a short account of the history of CT from motion tomography in the early 1930's to sprial CT. We discuss the physical and the mathematical background. Finally we give an outlook on possible future developments of CT and related techniques. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
