  • Finite amplitude distortion-based inhomogeneous pulse echo ultrasonic imaging
    Patent number: 7811233
    Abstract: A method and system for imaging a sample. The method includes the steps of generating an ultrasonic signal, directing the signal into a sample, which signal is distorted and contains a first order and higher order component signals at first and higher frequencies respectively. The received distorted signal is processed, and an image is formed, and then displayed, from the sum of the first order and second order component signals of the received distorted signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 24, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2010
    Assignee: Research Corporation Technologies, Inc.
    Inventor: Ted Christopher
