Simulation of Ultrasound Computed Tomography in Diffraction Mode

Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) aims at safe and fast high resolution imaging but due to its complexity and time consuming reconstruction procedures this imaging modality is not commercial in use. In this research, we analyze Ultrasound computed tomography in diffraction mode. The wave equation is theoretically and numerically solved with Helmholtz equation using Green’s function. We propose a new approach for reconstructing the parameters of interest. The simulated results indicate that proposed method can yield images with higher image resolution with a better computation time compared to other existing models therefore reducing the complexity.
