Abstract
At the first glance there seems to be no relation between holography and radiology. Holography uses visible light to store and retrieve three-dimensional information by interference of coherent waves, a possibility X-ray imaging symstems lack because of the incoherent nature of X-rays. X-rays are not reflected or diffracted by lenses, mirrors or gratings like electro-magnetic waves of larger wavelength. But this draw-back of X-rays actually gives rise to usage of holography and optics in a synthetic way of postprocessing X-ray pictures to obtain the flexibility of optics like it has been done very successfully in the field of radar technique [1].
