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

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.
