1. A device for tomography of an object having a curved surface comprising:

  • a source of penetrating radiation;

    a detector having a curved shape corresponding to the curved surface; and

    a processor system configured to determine an expected distortion for each of a plurality of points in a projection of the curved surface onto the detector, and configured to correct each of the plurality of points in the protection according to the expected distortion of that point by replacing pixel values in the uncorrected projection with corresponding interpolated pixel values at the expected positions.
