Abstract:Ultrasonic projection imaging is similar to X-ray radiography. Nowadays, ultrasonic projection methods have been developed in the set-up of multi-element flat arrays with miniature transducers, where one of the array acts as a transmitter and the other one is a receiver.In the paper, a new method of the projection imaging using a 1024-element circular ultrasonic transducer array is presented. It allows the choice of a projection scanning plane for any angle around a studied object submerged in water. Fast acqu… Show more
“…In tomography problems, we often deal with many sensors emitting and receiving signals closely located to the external boundary. For example, Diffuse Optical Tomography or Radio Tomography could be mentioned [5][6][7].…”

“…The reconstruction of the object (geometry only, without acoustical properties of the material) requires an accurate numerical model [4,6]. Moreover, it allows us to solve the inverse scattering problem, i.e., determine the parameters of the scatterer based on measurements of the incident and scattered fields taken on the external circular boundary.…”

“…Based on the Forward Problem, Dedicated iterative methods make it possible to formulate the inverse problems and solve the tomography tasks for acoustic [3,4,6]. The advantages of the acoustic or ultrasound approach for imaging, particularly in medicine, are obvious and do not demand further explanations.…”
Problems with the accuracy of calculations by the Boundary Element Method of acoustic and ultrasonic problems formulated in the frequency domain were presented in this paper. The inverse problem was formulated to identify the position and dimensions of the scattering object. A series of numerical experiments carried out with the help of the Boundary Elements Method proved the algorithm's robustness to noise and high precision in a wide frequency spectrum.

The accuracy of the calculation of acoustic problems formulated in the frequency domain is presented in this work. The issues of the acoustic point sources modelling were discussed and the influence of frequency as well as the impact of the geometry of the analysed area on the accuracy of calculations were indicated. Speaking about the influence of geometry, we mean not only discretization but also the configuration of the considered area, such as for example point sources localization close to the outer edge.
