We are developing the theory behind a new imaging modality which uses a single transducer rotating about its center to launch a field radially outward and collect the backscattered (reflected) field. We use diffraction tomography techniques, based upon a linearized version of the field scattering equation, to form images of the medium surrounding the transducer. As there is one transducer which both transmits the incident field and measures the backscattered field, the operation mode is multimonostatic.
