title: Dynamic tomography.
abstract: Dynamic tomography is a radiographic procedure that allows details in a thin layer within the patient to be examined. This layer can be moved at will throughout the patient. Thus, details lying in an infinite number of layers can be scrutinized one layer at a time. Eight underexposed radiographs are made under rigid controls. Each film receives one fourth of a normal exposure. The "in focus" layer of details is about 0.5 mm. thick. Various future applications of the technique are discussed.
