We present an approach to extract from the local measurement of a complex field a wavelength tomography. In contrast with noise correlation techniques developed in recent years in seismology or ultrasound, field measurement is under-sampled which opens applications to slow imaging devices. Through simulations and experiments, it is demonstrated that the loss of time and/or spatial coherence of the field measurement is not an obstacle for tomography reconstruction. We present an application in shear wave imaging: a conventional ultrasonic scanner working at 25 Hz is tested in a medical phantom and in the thyroid of a healthy volunteer.
