Tomographically, the condition manifests as a mass that has invaded adjacent soft tissues but has left cortical bone intact. With soft x rays, samples may be imaged tomographically with some damage for dosages of 24 MGy (16,31), which is equivalent to 150 eV of absorbed radiation per base pair. Nineteen high resolution projection images of 200X200 pixels were tomographically reconstructed into a three-dimensional image. |
