Handbook of Visual Display Technology

Abstract

This chapter provides a broad overview of developments in ultrasound imaging. It discusses the barriers to this progress and why they are coming down, offers a high-level view of the major components in an ultrasound system and how new technologies are redefining these components, and what the future directions of ultrasound imaging in the medical industry may be.
