Abstract
This paper deals with an inverse problem that consists of the attenuation coefficient identification for the non-stationary radiation transfer equation. To solve the problem, we propose to use a pulsed radiation source with an angular discontinuity. We show that the solution to the radiation transfer equation is the sum of a discontinuous ballistic component and a continuous scattered one.The representation, allows us to obtain a formula for finding the attenuation coefficient. The uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse problem has been proved. Numerical experiments on a digital phantom show that the method proposed improves the reconstruction quality.
