✦ Synopsis

A Compton back-scatter tomographical imaging model with minimal constraints was imposed as a potential contender for on-line portable imaging. The line-scan method based on scattered photon energy spectra can obtain a fairly high scan speed and spatial resolution. As such, radiation scattering imaging (or density reconstruction) is viewed as a nonlinear inverse problem. A multicriteria optimization-based density reconstruction from computed compton scattering data illustrates the feasibility of this method.
