Abstract - The Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) is applied in this paper to the image reconstruction of a 3D lossy dielectric object in which microwave diffraction is neglected as an approximation. The data on microwave attenuation are used to reconstruct the images. The images for stacked 2D and complete 3D arrangements are presented showing the usefulness and limitation of the linear reconstruction techniques with and without noise.
