Abstract:
The solution to the scattering of an incident pressure wave by an arrangement of eccentric cylinders embedded inside a pair of concentric cylinders is derived here using a combination of T-matrix and mode-matching approaches. This method allows the generation of synthetic data from relatively complex structures to be used for the validation of acoustic tomography methods. An application of the solution derived here is illustrated by reconstructing sound speed and density profiles from a complex phantom using inverse scattering.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
