| This study focuses on the application of ultrasonic diffraction tomography to noncircular 2D-cylindrical objects immersed in an infinite fluid. The distorted Born iterative method used to solve the inverse scattering problem be longs to the class of algebraic reconstruction algorithms. This method was developed to increase the order of application of the Born approximation (in the case of weakly-contrasted media) to higher orders. This yields quantitative in formation about the scatterer, such as the speed of sound and the attenuation. Quantitative ultrasonic imaging techniques of this kind are of great potential value in fields such as medicine, under water acoustics and non destructive testing. |
