Abstract
The inverse problem in acoustics (or acoustical imaging) is based on the theory of acoustic wave propagation, absorption, and scattering. The techniques for processing and display of the medium parameters, based on scattered acoustic energy may be divided into 2 general categories: (1) techniques based upon transmitted, or forward scattered ultrasound energy; (2) techniques based upon reflected, or backscattered, ultrasound energy. The reconstruction techniques, discussed in this paper, are based on backscattered acoustic energy.
