Process tomography 1 consists of tomography tomographic imaging of systems, such as process pipes in industry. In tomography the Three dimensional space 3D distribution of some physical quantity in the object is determined. There is a widespread need to get tomographic information about process. This information can be used, for example, in the design and control of processes. Tomography involves taking measurements around the periphery of an object e.g. process vessel or patient to determine what is going on inside. The best known technique is CAT scanning in medicine , however process tomography instrumentation needs to be cheaper, faster and more robust. Many different imaging methods are used in process tomography, e.g. Medical ultrasonography ultrasonic imaging , positron emission tomography PET , electrical resistance tomography ERT and electrical impedance tomography EIT , electrical capacitance tomography ECT , magnetic induction tomography MIT . In all cases external sensors are used to detect signals from boundary of the object, and the three dimensional material distribution or the velocity field is computed using the measured data. Process tomography is an area of rapid growth both in terms of research and applications. There are number of challenges remaining in this area including data processing an image reconstruction 2 , and application of imaging modalities in a real applications.

Photoacoustic tomography PAT , or Photoacoustic computed tomography PACT , is a materials analysis technique based on the reconstruction of an internal photoacoustic source distribution from measurements acquired by scanning ultrasound detectors over a surface that encloses the source under study. Introduction The PA source is produced inside the object by the thermal expansion that results from a small temperature rise, which is caused by the absorption of externally applied radiation of pulsed electromagnetic EM waves. This technique has great potential for applications in the biomedical field because of the advantages of ultrasonic resolution in combination with EM absorption contrast. PAT is also called optoacoustic tomography OAT or thermoacoustic tomography TAT , with the term thermoacoustic emphasizing the thermal expansion mechanism in the PA generation. OAT refers particularly to light induced PAT, while TAT is used to refer to rf induced PAT. Technically, each temporal PA signal, measured at various detection positions, provides one dimensional radial information about the PA source relative to the detector position 2D surface scans offer other 2D lateral information about the PA source. Combining the temporal and spatial measurements affords sufficient information for a complete reconstruction of a 3D PA source. Because the PA signal received by each ultrasound detector is the integral of the ultrasound waves over the sensing aperture of the detector, the reconstruction algorithms depend on the detector apertures as well as the scanning geometries. Small aperture detectors are often used to approximate point detectors, which receive PA signals originating from spherical shells, centered at each point detector, with radii determined by the acoustic times of flight. The three geometries commonly used are planar, cylindrical, and spherical surfaces. Both Fourier ... www.opticsinfobase.org abstract.cfm?id 134699 Photoacoustic tomography using a Mach Zehnder interferometer ... more details
orphan date December 2007 Hydraulic tomography HT is a sequential cross hole hydraulic test followed by inversion of all the data to map the spatial distribution of aquifer hydraulic properties. Specifically, HT involves installation of multiple Water well wells in an aquifer, which are partitioned into several intervals along the depth using packers. A sequential aquifer test at selected intervals is then conducted. During the test, water is injected or withdrawn i.e., a pressure excitation at a selected interval in a given well. Pressure responses of the subsurface are then monitored at other intervals at this well and other wells. This test produces a set of pressure excitation response data of the subsurface. Once a test is completed, the pump is moved to another interval and the test is repeated to collect another set of data. The same procedure is then applied to the intervals at other wells. Afterward, the data sets from all tests are processed by a mathematical model to estimate the spatial distribution of hydraulic properties of the aquifer. These pairs of pumping and drawdown data sets at different locations make an inverse problem better posed since each pair cross validates the others such that the estimates become less non unique. In other words, predictions of ground water flow based on the HT estimates will be more accurate and less uncertain than those based on estimates from traditional site characterization approaches and model calibration s.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Optical physics , or optical science , is a subfield of atomic, molecular, and optical physics . It is the study of the generation of electromagnetic radiation , the properties of that radiation, and the interaction of that radiation with matter , especially its manipulation and control. It differs from general optics and optical engineering in that it is focused on the discovery and application of new phenomena. There is no strong distinction, however, between optical physics, applied optics, and optical engineering, since the devices of optical engineering and the applications of applied optics are necessary for basic research in optical physics, and that research leads to the development of new devices and applications. Often the same people are involved in both the basic research and the applied technology development. Researchers in optical physics use and develop light sources that span the electromagnetic spectrum from microwave s to X ray s.

IDSI, USA for its Opticaltomographyoptical tomographic technique for female breast imaging. This medical imaging technique uses laser energy in the near infrared region of the spectra, to detect angiogenesis in the breast tissue. It is optical molecular imaging for hemoglobin both oxygenated and deoxygenated. The technology uses laser in the same way computed tomography uses X Rays, these beams travel through tissue and suffer attenuation. A laser detector measures the intensity drop and the data is collected as the laser detector moves across the breast creating a tomography image. CTLM images show hemoglobin distribution in a tissue and can detect areas of Angiogenesis surrounding malignant tumors, that stimulate this angiogenesis to obtain nutrients for growth.
