1. A system for synthesizing a three-dimensional representation of a selected object from a plurality of projected radiographic images of the selected object comprising:

  • a. at least one radiographic recorder for recording radiographic images of the selected object;

    b. at least one source of radiation for irradiating the selected object to enable projected radiographic images of the selected object to be recorded on the radiographic recorder;

    c. an image synthesizer for synthesizing a three-dimensional representation of the selected object from selected projections of the projected radiographic images recorded on the radiographic recorder; and

    d. a display for displaying the three-dimensional representation, the display comprising;

    i. stereoscopic spectacles to be worn by an observer;

    ii. a target operatively connected to the stereoscopic spectacles;

    iii. a detector operatively associated with the target for tracking movement of the target; and

    iv. a monitor connected to the detector for receiving a signal from the detector indicative of movement of the target and for displaying an image pair of the three-dimensional representation in response to the signal.
