A NEW CONCEPT OF DISCRETIZATION MODEL FOR IMAGING IMPROVING IN ULTRASOUND TRANSMISSION TOMOGRAPHY
Abstract
In this paper a new version of discretization model for Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography is presented. The algorithm has been extensively tested for synthetic noisy data on various configurations of internal objects. In order to improve the imaging quality, the pixels/voxels have been enlarged compared to the figures inscribed in pixels/voxels however no more than figures described on the standard square pixels or cubic voxels. The proposed algorithm provides better quality of imaging.
Keywords
