[Transversal blurring in tomography (author's transl)].

The article discusses the factors which govern blurring in transversal tomography. The amount of blurring is a multiple of the degree of blurring which occurs in normal horizontal tomography, assuming the usual conditions, ie small angle of incidence in case of fixed focus, and large diameter of rotation in case of a rotating arrangement. Hence, only large details will show up in transversal tomography, in contrast to the results obtained via comparable horizontal tomograms.
