title: A review of localized tomography.
abstract: Localized computed tomography is the field of reconstructing an image of a portion of the internal structure of an object from an incomplete set of projections. Standard computed tomographic techniques require a full set of projections even when only a small portion of the object is of interest. The first localized tomographic technique was developed in the field of non-destructive testing in 1981 by Soviet scientists. Since this initial work numerous other researchers have advanced the field of localized tomography in theoretical and applied areas. This paper reviews the diverse localized computed tomography field.
