Image Acquisition System That Emulates The Operating Principle Of A Computerized Axial Tomograph

The need to improve and innovate the training of new professionals, with better teaching and learning techniques, is frequently raised. The technology incorporated into new equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of patients has a great impact on people's health. And for that, professionals who master knowledge and practice are required. In the case of imaging equipment, the CAT (Computerized Axial Tomograph) stands out, which, due to its complexity, is difficult to understand in relation to the acquisition of digital medical images. The work developed consisted of the design and implementation of a system for the acquisition and reconstruction of images oriented towards teaching and learning. The platform explained offers rotation capacity, with a stationary laser emitter pair; allows you to cut back-projections, and then reconstruct the image using an FBP (Filtered Back-Projection Reconstruction) algorithm. Tests were carried out, and the results obtained are discussed, which allow us to conclude that the proposed objective for teaching purposes was achieved.
