Abstract
Qualitative ultrasonic imaging of cylindrical fluid targets is investigated by a diffraction tomography technique applied to experimental data. The principles of the image formulation are stated and an experimental setup is described. Experimental difficulties related to the short wavelength used and respective advantages in collecting the data, either with a mechanically scanned single transducer or with an electronically scanned array of transducers, are emphasized. Representative images of simply structured phantoms and of real biological bodies are obtained in spite of the small number of views available.<>Keywords
