      abstract     = {Ultrasonic measurements in non-destructive testing are used
                      to determine the size of structural elements and to locate
                      and characterise components and inhomogeneities. State of
                      the art for reconstruction are methods like 3D-SAFT
                      (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique). These algorithms
                      require only direct reflections from objects. It is
                      impossible to get reliable information on the diameter of
                      tendon ducts or vertical boundaries of objects because these
                      can only be imaged using multiple reflections. Reverse Time
                      Migration is a commonly used imaging method in exploration
                      geophysics. With this method, it is possible to image steep
                      structures with an incidence angle larger than 70° like
                      steps or the bottom of components. In this thesis, the
                      capability of the Reverse Time Migration for non-destructive
                      testing is shown using simulated data. It was possible to
                      image the full perimeter of a hole in a simulated object.
                      Ultrasonic measurements were performed on a polyamide
                      specimen to verify the results of the simulations with low
                      noise data. A hole was drilled into the specimen and the
                      size of the hole was increased stepwise. Measurements were
                      made for each step. Position, size and diameter were imaged
                      accurately and the applicability of the Reverse Time
                      Migration in non-destructive testing was proven. In the next
                      step, laboratory measurements on a concrete model were
                      performed. A tendon duct was imaged in position, size and
                      diameter. First results of a measurement on a bridge show
                      that it is possible to locate a rectangular tendon duct.
                      Unfortunately it was impossible to image the bottom of it
                      due to missing multiple reflections and attenuation. The
                      results of the simulations and the measurements show a clear
                      advantage over the SAFT algorithms used so far. Further work
                      must be done to improve the quality of the measurements and
                      the images. Especially on concrete the influences of noise
                      because of the aggregates and the attenuation are high. This
                      can be seen in the results of the measurements of the
                      bridge.},
