title: Imaging with the ultrasonic vibration potential: A theory for current generation.
abstract: The current in a circuit produced by a time-varying polarization generated by an object within a body in response to the passage of ultrasound (US) is found through solution to Maxwell's equations. Current generation is modelled in a body with uniform dielectric constant and conductivity where a finite region within the body produces an ultrasonic vibration potential. The results of the calculation form the mathematical basis for imaging through use of the ultrasonic vibration potential.
