New technique for ultrasound imaging.
A new system of ultrasonic imaging has been developed which utilizes optical interferometry. This system has a broad frequency range, wide angular response, and good resolution. Operation of the system and the results of experimental imaging are described. Application of this technique to the evaluation of in vitro tissue specimens demonstrates its capability for characterization of ultrasonic tissue properties.
