We developed an iterative algorithm which could improve the resolution of reconstructed tomograms having random attenuation patterns and analyzed the limitation of this algorithm. The simple back-and forth propagation algorithm has depth resolution about four wavelengths. An iterative algorithm, based on back-and-forth propagation, can be used to improve the resolution of reconstructed tomograms. We analyzed the wavefield for multi-layered specimen and programmed iterative algorithm using Clanguage. Simulation results show that the images get clearer as the number of iterations increases. Also, unambiguous images can be reconstructed using this algorithm even when the layer separation is only two wavelengths. However, this iteration algorithm comes up with an incorrect solution for the number of projections less than five.
