An improved reconstructed stereoscopic x‐ray image display system, based on the principle of binocular parallax, is described. Pulse‐synchronized operation of two triode x‐ray tubes and one plumbicon TV camera is employed to separate the left and right images for presentation to the two eyes, respectively. The principle of binocular perception, quantitative characteristics of the stereoscopic depth, the overcoming of the inertia problem of the single‐camera scheme, and a way to achieve low x‐ray dosage and enhanced contrast of image are presented. Experimental results and applications are discussed.
