Accoustical imaging research is a rapidly developing field that offers promising applications in such diverse areas as underwater exploration, nondestructive testing, seismic exploration, acoustical microscopy, and medical diagnoses. This annual review series is widely acclaimed for its comprehensive and up-to-date compilations of experimental and theoretical findings in the field. The contributors provide definitive data on the newest acoustical imaging techniques, devices, and applications.
The ninth volume of this series offers a special feature not found in previous volumes--tutorial review papers covering such areas as acoustical microscopy, imaging in on destructive evaluation, ultrasonic imaging by reconstructive tomography, theory and measurements of ultrasonic scattering for tissue characterization, underwater acoustical imaging, and seismic imaging. In addition to these fine tutorial papers, Volume 9 takes and in-depth look at methods, transducers, processing and display, phased array considerations, transmission imaging, ultrasonic diffraction tomography, tissue characterization and impediography, and medical applications.
