Ultrasonovision: An Interferometric Means For Measurement And Visualization Of Ultrasonic Wavefront Interactions With Biologic Tissue

Abstract
Ultrasonovision is a system for the measurement and visualization of ultrasonic fields which operates by interferometrically measuring the displacement amplitude of the acoustic wave. Its unique features include: high sensitivity, large dynamic range, wide angular response, good resolution, broad frequency range, and the capability for reflective or transmissive imaging. We shall describe the operation of the system and several areas of application, including the imaging and measurement of biological tissue.
