Figure 1. Schematic illustration of three-dimensional (3D) tomography (left) and phase-space tomography (right).

Caption

3D spatial tomography estimates the 3D structure of a subject from images taken from multiple directions. On the other hand, newly developed phase-space tomography estimates the plasma phase-space distribution by combining data obtained from highly resolved measurements in (A) velocity versus space, (B) velocity versus time, and (C) time versus space, respectively.
