Multiplex holograms of a skull made of CT images

Abstract A multiplex hologram is sythesized from a series of CT (computer-aided tomogram) sectional images of the head of a patient taken with a small interval along the body axis. To show a skull shape in three dimensions through a synthesized hologram, images of the skull are first extracted by level slicing. Then, these images are transformed into a series of projected images and each view of different direction around the body axis is successively reconstructed and transformed into a hologram. The 3D shape of the skull is fairly well reconstructed by the synthesized hologram.
