Reconstruction in diffraction imaging

The problem of reconstruction in imaging systems that are modeled using the Helmholtz wave equation (diffraction imaging) is addressed. A spectral analysis of the available diffraction data is presented to help develop algorithms and constraints on a diffraction imaging system's parameters for accurate reconstruction of the desired image. Means of reducing the execution time of these algorithms and their relationship to currently available filtered backpropagation and unified Fourier reconstruction methods are also discussed.<
