Abstract
Computerized Tomography (CT) using X-rays is one of several methods, which allow to get information about the molecular structure of three dimensional objects. Examples of other techniques are ultrasonics, neutron beams or nuclear magnetic resonance. However, CT is a good tool to describe the underlying mathematical problems. The main task is to reconstruct the three dimensional structure. In CT the mathematical problems are nowadays well understood and efficient reconstruction algorithms have been developed and successfully used in practice.
