Full wave 3D inverse scattering transmission ultrasound tomography in the presence of high contrast.

ABSTRACT: We present here a quantitative ultrasound tomographic method yielding a sub-mm resolution, quantitative 3D representation of tissue characteristics in the presence of high contrast media. This result is a generalization of previous work where high impedance contrast was not present and may provide a clinically and laboratory relevant, relatively inexpensive, high resolution imaging method for imaging in the presence of bone. This allows tumor, muscle, tendon, ligament or cartilage disease monitoring for therapy and general laboratory or clinical settings. The method has proven useful in breast imaging and is generalized here to high-resolution quantitative imaging in the presence of bone. The laboratory data are acquired in ~ 12 min and the reconstruction in ~ 24 min-approximately 200 time
