Injectivity and Exact Inversion of Ultrasound Operators in the
Spherical Geometry
April 6, 2012
3-4 PM, 646 PGH
Abstract
In ultrasound tomography an emitter sends acoustic waves through the
body, and the reflections of these waves are registered by a
receiver. These data measured for various locations of emitter and
receiver are then used to reconstruct the acoustic reflectivity
function, which represents an image of the interior of the body.
Mathematically this procedure is equivalent to the inversion of an
operator, which puts into correspondence to the image function the
measured reflections at available receiver locations. The talk
discusses the injectivity of ultrasound operators in the spherical
geometry of data acquisition, and exact inversion procedures derived
for several setups in this geometry.
