title: Tissue harmonic depletion imaging.
abstract: The inhomogeneous imaging advantages offered by finite amplitude distortion appear to be obtainable in an indirect fashion. Instead of acquiring images based on the accretion of amplitude in a higher harmonic bandwidth, comparable images could be obtained using the corresponding depletion of amplitude from a lower harmonic bandwidth. Such an approach offers some advantages over traditional harmonic imaging, including reduced bandwidth demands, and more generally could be a useful complement to the traditional approach.
