Abstract
Ultrasound reflection tomography based on the compound scan principle, allows one to produce reflectivity images with high quality and reproducibility. In this paper, methods are discussed on how to extract additional physical parameters from the same set of reflection data for medical applications. Experimental results from a phantom object and in-vivo measurements illustrate the capabilities of such tomographic reflection Systems.Keywords
