I came to the entry on "Tomography" looking for information of UT or uncomputed tomography ... which I found is known in the medical field as "plain tomography" ... I found an article at http://www.rhhct.org.uk/history.html that mentions plain tomograpy.

It appears to have been almost completely superceded by computed tomography (CT), but I think that the "tomography" entry should have mention of it as it is still used in my industry, aerospace.

A cross reference on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UT should also be added for those looking for this and using the term "UT", as I did.

Hmm... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondestructive_testing lists Ultrasonic testing as "UT" ... I must be wrong about how the term UT is used in aerospace! Shows how well I know my industry!

Still, for historical purposes, I guess a bit on plain tomography might be good.
