| Abstract | Time-of-flight tomography within the first order Born approximation has an inherent limitation on spatial and contrast resolution. The deviation of the propagation path from a straight line mainly caused by refraction is dependent on the speed of sound distribution. Some examples in published literature simulate cylindrical phantoms lying at the center of rotation. This paper investigates the effect of location, size and speed of sound of the lesion on its reconstruction. Such an analysis necessitates an algorithm capable of tracing rays through media possessing well defined speeds of sound. The algorithm implemented here can trace rays through a medium defined by any arbitrary number of right cylindrical lesions which may even intersect each other or lie completely within each other. It is essentially a 2D shooting algorithm that yields all the points where the ray changes its direction staring from transmitter and reaching receiver. This information is used to calculate the time of flight for each ray. The inversion is carried out under the assumption of straight line propagation. The reconstructions show that two neighboring lesions are merged together to form an elongated dumbbell shaped image for lesion sizes below 5 mm and for speeds of sound above 1530 m/s. The asymmetrical location of the individual lesions results in twisted dumbbell shape. The two lesions become separately visible when the distance between them is larger than the mean of their diameters. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
