A modification of the combined SAFT (C-SAFT) method for reconstructing reflector images in a test object, which consists of several regions with different acoustic properties, in particular, anisotropy properties, is proposed. A method for the direct construction of a family of rays, which exit from the point where a transmitter is positioned, is used to calculate the ray trajectories with consideration for the anisotropy. After the family of rays is constructed, it is possible to analyze their attribution to a certain acoustic scheme and to approximate the calculated delays on the spatial grid of the region of iterest (ROI). This will allow one to calculate the pulse travel time from a transmitter to any point of the ROI and back to the receiver and to use the C-SAFT method for reconstructing reflector images. During processing of echo signals that were calculated in the CIVA program, the efficiency of the proposed method was demonstrated. Accounting for the anisotropy in a model experiment increased the focusing quality when reconstructing images of side-drilled holes in a specimen with a repair weld.
