  • Abstract
    The mathematical basis for transmission computed tomographic imaging using straight-line reconstruction equations is discussed. Both narrow-band and broad-band solutions are described. The Born and Rytov methods are discussed and the Rytov inversion equation presented with some results. Problems with implementation of the method are mentioned. Backscatter reconstruction methods of seismology are discussed as to their strengths and weaknesses for use in tissue imaging.
