Tomographic reconstruction
Tomographic Reconstruction
Tomographic reconstruction is a type of multidimensional technique used in image processing and radiology to create a 3D model of an object from a series of 2D images. The process involves the use of various algorithms to reconstruct the internal structure of an object, which is particularly useful in medical imaging.
Pronunciation

Etymology
The term "tomographic reconstruction" is derived from the Greek words "tomos" meaning "slice" or "section", and "graphein" meaning "to write". The term "reconstruction" comes from the Latin "reconstructio", meaning "to build again".
