The invention deals with computerized tomography based on the object imaging with small angle scattered radiation. The registration of the scattering is made in ultra-small angles: from 0 to 1 degree relatively to the direction of the falling beam. Several schemes allowing to perform the registration of coherent scattering in the mentioned angles are suggested. The fan-shaped low-diverging beams f...
