Diffraction tomography

Diffraction tomography is an inverse scattering technique used to find the shape of a scattering object by illuminating it with probing waves and recording the reflections.[1] It is based on the diffraction slice theorem and assumes that the scatterer is weak.[2] It is closely related to X-ray tomography.[3]
