Abstract
Planar acoustic tomography is designed to perform microscopic non-destructive evaluation for objects with planar structure such as integrated-circuit chips and biomedical tissue specimens. In this paper, a simplified version of the algorithm is presented for high-resolution real time tomographic imaging. This algorithm is capable of producing images with uniform resolution in both directions without the tedious signal interpolation because of the utilization of hexagonal arrays.
