Nuclear spin tomography is an application in medicine. The patient absorbs and re-emits electromagnetic radiation in all directions, which is detected and reconstructed as 3-D images or 2-D slice images. In a fundamental science laboratory, quantum state tomography is the process of completely characterizing the quantum state of an object as it is emitted by its source, before a possible measurement or interaction with the environment takes place.
