Book description
Novel physical solutions, including new results in the field of
adaptive methods and inventive approaches to inverse problems, original
concepts based on high harmonic imaging algorithms, intriguing
vibro-acoustic imaging and vibro-modulation technique, etc. were
successfully introduced and verified in numerous studies of industrial
materials and biomaterials in the last few years. Together with the
above mentioned traditional academic and practical avenues in ultrasonic
imaging research, intriguing scientific discussions have recently
surfaced and will hopefully continue to bear fruits in the future. The
goal of this book is to provide an overview of the recent advances in
high-resolution ultrasonic imaging techniques and their applications to
biomaterials evaluation and industrial materials. The result is a unique
collection of papers presenting novel results and techniques that were
developed by leading research groups worldwide.
This book offers a number of new results from well-known authors who are
engaged in aspects of the development of novel physical principles, new
methods, or implementation of modern technological solutions into
current imaging devices and new applications of high-resolution imaging
systems. The ultimate purpose of this book is to encourage more research
and development in the field to realize the great potential of high
resolution acoustic imaging and its various industrial and biomedical
applications.
