== Tomography in reflection seismology ==
Tomographic inversion plays a significant part in depth imaging in the seismic oil exploration industry. This should probably be mentioned briefly.

==Move from "tomography" to "imaging"==
I'm requesting this move since [[tomography]] is more of a medical term, and is unnecessarily jargon. Imaging is far more intuitive, and is more popular:

I would vote no on this. Seismic tomography is a subset of seismic imaging that relies on using forward-scattered energy to map long-wavelength variations in the Earth's seismic velocity. Seismic imaging also incorporates [[reflection seismology]] techniques (analogous to ultrasound imaging in medicine) that use back-scattered energy.

Tomography in reflection seismology
Tomographic inversion plays a significant part in depth imaging in the seismic oil exploration industry. This should probably be mentioned briefly. 136.250.232.88 13:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC) Robruss24 13:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
