Abstract
Spurred by a need for density cross-sectional profiles of objects in rapid motion, a nondestructive testing diagnostic facility for microsecond events is under development at the Ballistic Research Laboratory. Previous interest in tomography of transient events centered on the study of cyclic processes, such as the human heart, with the DSR and the Imatron achieving remarkable successes. The present development addresses the problem where data must be gathered in a few microseconds to preclude blurring and other unwanted side effects. This is achieved by simultaneous recording of all the data, without any mechanical motion of the sources and detectors.
