Quantitative ultrasonic tomography of high acoustic impedance contrast targets
Résumé
This study is concerned whith the ultrasonic imagery of elastic materials like cylinders or tubes by a diffraction tomography technic. Green's representaton is used to obtain an integral representation of the scattered field, and a discrete formulation of the inverse problem is obtained using a moment method. An iterative non-linear algorithm minimizing the discrepancy between the measured and computed scattered fields is used to reconstruct the sound speed profile in the target area. The minimization process is performed using a conjugated-gradient method. An experimental study with elastic targets immersed in water was performed. Cylindrical targets of various cross-sections have been selected. Inversions of both numerical and experimental data are presented and compared.
