3D Volumetric Tomography as an innovative bridge between medicine, diagnostics, scientific and industrial research

Abstract

3D X-ray volumetric tomography can be a bridge between scientific research, industrial research, medicine and diagnostics. Some innovative diagnostic techniques, developed by the researchers of the DIFA, the SMA and the Dibinem of the University of Bologna in collaboration with the Centro Studi e Ricerche Enrico Fermi of Roma and are illustrated in the images. To increase the effect of integrating the acquired scientific information, the 3D tomographic data, transformed and processed from raw images, are shown in 4D visualizations through inno- vative devices that generate virtual holograms. These devices are able to display, rotate, dis- integrate and reassemble the 3D images produced by reproducing them in holographic-virtual films. The feasibility study (extensible to medical tomography images) was made on fine ana- tomical waxes made from Bolognese ceroplasts from the 18th and 19th centuries
