Abstract: In this work, we consider the problem of reconstructing a small anomaly in a viscoelastic medium from wave-field measurements. We choose Szabo's model to describe the viscoelastic properties of the medium. Expressing the ideal elastic field without any viscous effect in terms of the measured field in a viscous medium, we generalize the imaging procedures, such as time reversal, Kirchhoff Imaging and Back propagation, for an ideal medium to detect an anomaly in a visco-elastic medium from wave-field measurements.
