Abstract

Two or more two-dimensional Fourier transforms are acquired from different perspectives of a three-dimensional object region. A three-dimensional Fourier transform is then constructed using tomographic methods, permitting the application of image analysis algorithms analogous to those used for two-dimensional images.
