A reconstruction algorithm is presented which possesses a simple scanning geometry and promises higher resolution than conventional transmission mode diffraction tomography algorithms. This broad-band reflection mode algorithm inherently lacks a certain amount of low frequency information but an estimate of the information is recovered by spectral extrapolation. The resolution of the algorithm will be shown to be limited by the bandwidth and physical size of the single plane wave transducer, as well as the Born approximation.
