Maximum entropy tomography.

In this paper we discuss the use of the maximum entropy principle in tomographic reconstruction. We emphasize that entropy maximization is the only consistent regularization technique for images. A method of encoding prior information is discussed, and an example of the use of prior knowledge in the restoration of a fuel pin bundle is given.
