Abstract

A radio tomography imaging method includes calculating a conversion function based on transmission images picked up by using radiation emitted from first and second radiation sources. A position of the second radiation source when the radiation has been emitted coincides with a position of the first radiation source when the radiation has been emitted, and one of the first and second radiation sources emits the radiation when the other emits the radiation, picking up a plurality of first reconfiguration transmission images and a plurality of second reconfiguration transmission images by using a plurality of first reconfiguration radiations and a plurality of second reconfiguration radiations simultaneously emitted from the first radiation source and the second radiation source. The plurality of first and second reconfiguration transmission images are then corrected based on the conversion function. The plurality of corrected transmission images are reconfigured into three-dimensional data.
