Statistical Treatment of
Acoustical Imaging
8.1Introduction
Acoustical imaging deals with the propagation of sound waves in solids and liquids in both homogeneous and heterogeneous media. Hence, the physical mechanism of sound propagations in random media is a key issue in acoustical imaging. There are various methods of treating this problem. For a homogeneous medium it is sufficient to employ single scattering or first-order multiple scattering (a Born approximation) or a Rytov approximation can be used, but for a heterogeneous medium or random medium, the multiple scattering effects become dominant in determining the fluctuation characteristics of the sound wave. So far two theories have been used in dealing with multiple scattering problems: the analytical theory and the transport theory.
For the analytical theory, the treatment starts with the sound wave equation and there are two approaches for treating the medium of sound wave propagation. One is treating the medium as continuous. For sound propagation in a medium of random particles, we will include the scattering and absorption characteristics of the particles. This is mathematically rigorous as all the multiple scattering, diffraction and interference effects can be included. However, in practice, it is impossible to obtain a formulation that completely includes all these effects, and the various methods that yield useful solutions are all approximate, each being useful for a specific range of parameters. Examples are Twersky’s theory [1], the diagram method [2], the Bethe Salpeter equation and statistical treatment [3].
For the transport theory [4], the sound wave equation is not needed. It deals directly with the transport of energy through a medium containing particles. The development of the theory is heuristic and it lacks the mathematical rigour of the analytical theory. Even though diffraction and interference effects are included in the description of the scattering and absorption characteristics of a single particle, the transport theory itself does not include diffraction effects. It is assumed in transport theory that there is no correlation between fields and, therefore, the addition of powers rather than the addition of fields holds. The transport theory was devised by Schuster [4] in 1903. The basic differential equation used is the equation of transfer. It is equivalent to Boltzmann’s equation used in the kinetic theory of gases and

in neutron transport theory [5]. The formulation is flexible and is capable of treating many physical phenomena.
Although the starting points of the analytical theory and the transport theory are different, both are dealing with the multiple scattering problem and there are therefore some fundamental relationships between them. For instance, the specific intensity used in transport theory, and the correlation function used in analytical theory, are related through a Fourier transform. This means that although the transport theory was developed on the basis of the addition of power, it contains information about the correlation of the fields. Also in transport theory, the polarization effects can be included through the Stokes’ matrix.
Our book will consider the analytical theory only because of its mathematical rigour. The statistical treatment will be used because this is currently the most authoritative method for the treatment of multiple scattering effects in sound propagation in random media due to its successful use by Kolmogorov [6] in the treatment of turbulence, which is a random medium. We will also consider the random medium as a continuum in a later section, where the moving particles and moving continuum of a medium will also be considered. The transformation of coordinates or symmetries will be used to deal with the relativistic in effect.
8.2Scattering by Inhomogeneities
Our work will be an extension of the work of Chernov [7] and Kolmogorov [6]. On the statistical treatment of general wave propagation in random media to sound wave propagation in random media – especially to propagation in solids with the use of the elastic wave equation – the basic wave equation will be used as the starting point.
Our work will pioneer the use of statistical treatment on the theory of acoustical imaging, that is, using a statistical approach on the problem of multiple scattering.
We will start with the case of a weakly inhomogeneous medium, or the method of small perturbations, and extend to large-scale inhomogeneities or a strongly inhomogeneous medium.
Ignoring the elastic properties of the medium, such as the involvement of the elastic constants, the acoustic wave equation for sound propagation in solids can be rewritten in terms of the acoustic pressure as

− 2 p1 = 4π Q |

where p1 is the acoustic pressure of a secondary scattered wave, c0 is the mean value of sound velocity and Q is the density of elementary sources. For the condition of small perturbation, we assume that the density and sound velocity deviate only slightly from their mean values ρ0 and c0 as
ρ = ρ0 + ρ and c = c0 + c |
(8.2) |
where ρ ρ0 and c c0. We take as the zeroth approximation the plane wave p0 = A0 exp [−i (ωt − kx)]
where k = ω/c0 is the wavenumber in the medium with averaged characteristics.

p1 is within a first approximation under the influence of the primary wave, and each element of the inhomogeneous medium becomes a source of secondary scattered wave p. The total effect of the waves scattered by the volume V is given by the solutions of equation (8.1)
Q t − r

where r is the distance from the scattering element (ξ , η, ζ ) to the receiver point (x, y, z), that is,
r = (x − ξ )2 + (y − η)2 + (z − ζ )2 (8.4)
When sound wave propagates in an inhomogeneous random medium, fluctuations of the characteristics of the wavefield, due to the superposition of the scattered waves and the primary waves, are observed. There must be a dependence between the fluctuation of the characteristics of the wavefield and the fluctuation of the refractive index. Our problem consists in finding this dependence, which can be used to draw conclusions about the statistical properties of the wavefield, given the statistical properties of the medium.
The inverse problem is usually not unique and cannot be solved without additional assumptions. However, if we make reasonable assumptions about the form of the correlation coefficient of the refractive index, then by measuring the field fluctuation, we can determine the mean value of the refractive index fluctuation. Thus, the study of wavefield fluctuation enables us to study the properties of the medium in which the wave travels, and hence towards acoustical imaging of that medium.
8.3Study of the Statistical Properties of the Wavefield
We begin the study of the statistical properties of the wavefield by examining amplitude and phase fluctuations of the sound wavefield. We will first consider small inhomogeneities or small perturbations. We assume that the random inhomogeneities occur only in the right half-space (x > 0) and that the left half-space (x < 0) contains no random inhomogeneities.
A plane sound wave
p0 = A0eiφ0 = A0e−i(ωt−kx)
advances from a homogeneous to an inhomogeneous medium. A receiver is located in the inhomogeneous medium at the point with coordinates x, y, z and the waves scattered by the inhomogeneities, as well as the wave p0, are incident on the receiver.
The total sum of the incident sound wave and the scattered wind wave is given by
p1 = A1eiφ1
Using the method of small perturbations, p can be found to a first approximation if we take p0 as the zeroth approximation.

Ignoring elasticity effect, the acoustic wave equation can be written in terms of the acoustic pressure as [8]:

− 2 p + log ρ · p = 0 |

8.3.1Fresnal Approximation or Near-Field Approximation
In our work, we shall consider only the case of large-scale inhomogeneities, ka 1 where a is the correlation distance (Chernov [7, p. 8]). We can neglect wave reflections and limit the region of integration in equations (8.21) and (8.22) to ξ = x. An appreciable effect will be produced only by those inhomogeneities that are concentrated within a cone with its vertex at the receiving point and with an aperture angle of the order of 1/ka. Inside this cone,
the formula r = (x − ξ )2 + ρ2, where ρ2 = (y − η)2 + (z − ζ )2 , can be replaced by the approximation

Further simplification of I1 and I2 can be done if the distance a is large compared to the correlation distance L, that is, L a.
Introducing the relative coordinate ξ = ξ1 − ξ2 and the centre of mass coordinate x = 12 ξ1 + ξ2 , we are then justified to integrate ξ for the limits −∞ to ∞. Then equation (8.42) can be simplified to
L ∞
I1 = dx |

I2 = dx |
