A tomographic attachment was designed and developed that attaches to our existing simulator. The film tomograms obtained with the aid of this device exhibit very low geometrical distortion and good contrast and resolution for the objects used in this investigation. In addition, our results to date show that adjacent areas with densities differing by as little as 5% can be distinguished on film.
