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]
