title: Digital ultrasonic imaging with microprocessor manipulation.
abstract: The author describes the development of a digital scan converter system which accepts ultrasonic B-scans in "oscilloscope" format and displays them in video format. The system involves the use of a microprocessor, the function of which is outlined in the paper. A brief comparison with a system employing a scan converter tube is given.
