Temperature distribution measurements are important in various fields. Thus, many kinds of measurement methods have been proposed. Among these methods, we have researched acoustic computerzed tomography (A-CT) with times of flight (TOF) of acoustic waves for the temperature distribution measurement in concave-shaped sapce. This method is based on the inverse Radon transform which is an analytical reconstruction technique. However, it has also been clarified that this method is complicated and errors occur since projection data along sound paths muffled by the wall are treated as hollow projection. To solve these problems, we employ maximum likelihood expectation maximization (ML-EM) algorithm, which is proposed to be used for A-CT in ref. 3. The ML-EM algorithm is one of the iterative reconstruction techniques originally proposed for positron emission tomography (PET). This algorithm has an advantage against the hollow projection. We partially modify the algorithm to more suit for the temperature distribution. This algorithm is considered to be suitable for the measurement in the concave-shaped space.
