What are the differences between them?
Inverse scattering and diffraction tomography are both techniques used in imaging and studying objects through waves, but they differ in their approach. Inverse scattering uses the scattered waves from an object to reconstruct its internal structure, while diffraction tomography collects and analyzes the diffraction patterns produced by waves passing through an object to create an image.
Yes, both techniques have been used in medical imaging, but they have different applications. Inverse scattering is more suitable for imaging objects with complex internal structures, such as biological tissues, while diffraction tomography is better for studying objects with simpler structures, such as crystals.
Inverse scattering is generally better for imaging small objects, as it can provide high-resolution images. Diffraction tomography, on the other hand, is more suitable for larger objects and can provide images with lower resolution.
Inverse scattering typically requires a large amount of data to be collected from multiple angles, which can be time-consuming. Diffraction tomography, on the other hand, can collect data from a single angle, making it faster and more efficient.
Both techniques have their limitations. Inverse scattering can be challenging to apply to highly complex objects, and the accuracy of the reconstruction can be affected by noise in the data. Diffraction tomography is limited in its ability to image objects with highly irregular shapes or structures, and it can also be affected by noise in the data.
