Solve the Inverse Problem
The purpose of our project is to infer material distribution inside an object based upon detection and analysis of radiation emerging from the object.
We are particularly interested in problems in which radiation can undergo significant scattering within the object.

Tomographic Reconstruction Methods
•
Analytic methods- Line integral (Radon transform), - Fourier slice theorem (FST) - Back projection reconstruction (BPR)
•
Iteration methodsforward model & inverse update scheme
Iteration image reconstruction (IIR) methods mainly differ in their choice of forward model and how the spatial distributions of the optical properties of the medium are updated.

Material Restriction Result for Model Problem
•
Our algorithm determined that the background material must be water; thus region 1 was always chosen to be water.
•
Our algorithm also determined that the inclusion (region 3) could be any one of four different materials: iron, water, paraffin, natural uranium.

Summary of This Talk
•
We have introduced some advances in inverse transport methods and applied them to solve 2D neutron tomography problems
•
We employ multiple steps that work together to dramatically reduce the difficulty of the combinatorial optimization
•
We implement a series of novel dimension-reduction techniques and integrate them to achieve the desired result
•
Results from simple model problems illustrate the potential power of these ideas and feasibility of the method
•
Optically thick problems with a high scattering ratio, in which analytic tomography method generally fails, are solved almost exactly with very modest computational effort
