title: Adapting parametric acoustic arrays for tomographic imaging.
abstract: In this paper, we present a theoretical model of a parametric array for tomographic applications. The array in the model is assumed to extend right up to the receiver and its cross section is assumed not to be negligible. These two assumptions have not been previously made in applications concerned with tomography. We invoke conditions that permit the derivation of a simple relation for tomographic reconstruction of variations in the acoustic nonlinear parameter throughout the cross section of an object.
