hologram

…possible for radiologists to construct holograms that provide three-dimensional images from the digital cross sections obtained by conventional MRI scanners. These holograms can be useful in locating lesions precisely. MRI is particularly valuable in imaging the brain, the spinal cord, pelvic organs such as the urinary bladder, and cancellous (or…

…the image is called a hologram, which appears to be an unrecognizable pattern of stripes and whorls but which—when illuminated by coherent light, as by a laser beam—organizes the light into a three-dimensional representation of the original object.

…this record, which is the hologram, is illuminated coherently to form an image of the original object. In fact, two images are usually formed—a real image (often called the conjugate image) and a virtual image (often called the primary image). There are two basic concepts that underlie this process: first,…
