ULTRASONIC HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGING SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS.

Abstract

This program described has as an ultimate objective the development of a real-time holographic imaging system with digital image reconstruction and its evaluation for medical research. Data acquisition, recording, and image reconstruction are performed under control of an Alpha-16 minicomputer. Image reconstruction is performed, however, off-line by a CDC 7600 computer system. The system offers a variety of modes of operation. Modeling allows the system to display images corresponding to computer generated holograms from a series of different boundary value problems to aid in the interpretation of real data.
