title: Real-time sonomammography based on the intersecting canonical body approximation of the diffracted wave field.
abstract: The inverse problem of the identification of an anomalous object (e.g., cyst or tumor) in a female breast immersed in water is solved by the matching of theoretical fields (for trial objects), employing an approximate field ansatz, to the scattered ultrasonic wave field measured on a surface fully enclosing the object.
