G06T 12/00 Tomographic reconstruction from projections
Introduced: January 2026
Additional Content IPC
Measuring using magnetic induction tomography for diagnostic purposes Computed tomography [CT] apparatus or devices for radiation diagnosis Tomographic diagnosis using ultrasonic, sonic or infrasonic waves Investigating or analysing materials by transmitting wave or particle radiation through the material and forming images of the material using tomography, e.g. computed tomography [CT] Prospecting or detecting by the use of ionising radiation using tomography
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.
IPC defines codes here since 2026.
