Abstract
A number of imaging techniques rely on digital computation in order to recover a mapping of the interaction parameters from the measured data. These techniques all proceed from fundamental algorithms which are, essentially, the expression of the inverse (scattering) problem for the particular measurement configuration associated with that imaging technique. Even the more conventional pulse-echo techniques, widely used in medical applications, may be seen as a subset of these methods, relying, as they do, on backscattered waves only. In a similar way, computerised ultrasound tomographic (“CUT”) methods comprise the subset of techniques which rely on forward scattered waves.
