Medical Ultrasonic Imaging - State-of-the-art And Future

Abstract

We will survey the present state of medical ultrasound imaging, and prognosticate on future developments. We assume the reader is an engineer with some knowledge of pulse-echo imaging techniques, such as radar and sonar. We will try to hit the high points, and provide a few key references for those who want to investigate these topics more deeply. In the presentation at Electro, we will show images; here we will endeavor to explain how those images were obtained. We apologize in advance for slighting some present achievements and future developments.
