Conclusion
The method of image reconstruction using the backprojection technique employed to create X-ray CT scans has been successfully applied to reconstruct images of targets rotating in a continuous wave ultrasonic beam.
The resolution is limited by the target size and the ultrasound wavelength. Theoretical analysis shows that the resolution of the microscanner is determined by the compromise between the frequency resolution and the rotation speed. At a carrier frequency of 10 MHz, a resolution of about 0.3 mm has been achieved.
