We present a new algorithm for near-field ultrasonic imaging, enhancing diffraction tomography for compact objects. This method reduces geometric distortion, improving image quality for medical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Ultrasonic Tomography
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Near-field ultrasonic imaging presents challenges due to geometric distortion.
  • Standard tomography methods struggle with compact objects interrogated by spherical waves.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an enhanced diffraction tomography algorithm for near-field ultrasonic data.
  • To improve imaging of compact support objects using spherical wave interrogation.

Main Methods:

  • An approximate inversion procedure based on the Born approximation.
  • Elliptical backprojection technique applied to broadband ultrasonic signals.
  • Finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations for data generation.

Main Results:
