A hundred papers cover acoustic microscopy, biomedicine, bone and cartilage, cardiology, components and systems, Doppler, mathematics and physics, non-destructive evaluation, oceanography, and tomography. Specific topics include the ultrasound reflection tomography of post-discotomatic scarring, det

The International Acoustical Imaging Symposium has been held continuously since 1968 as a unique forum for advanced research in all areas of acoustical imaging. The interdisciplinary nature of the Symposium and the wide international participation are two of its main strengths. Scientists from around the world present papers in all fields of acoustical imaging in an informal environment conducive to lively discussion and cross-fertilization. Acoustical Imaging remains the unique Symposium in the world that promotes the sharing of technology, developments, methods and theory among all areas of...

The formation of images by ultrasound is a fascinating study, with well-established, yet rapidly growing, applic- ations in medicine and with increasing relevance to a surprisingly disparate set of problems in the non-destructive examination of materials and components. The present volume is a record of the research presented at the Twelfth International Symposium on Acoustic Imaging, held in London during July 1982. Whilst, therefore, it offers primarily a snap-shot in time of a rapidly developing field, it is so organized that it will also serve as a high-speed entry into the literature for...

The contents of this volume are the proceedings of the 23'd International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging which took place 13-16 April, 1997, in Boston, Massachusetts. The first Symposium met 25 years ago. Originally the Symposium met in California, then elsewhere within the United States but beginning in 1988 the Symposia began to meet outside of the United States as welL It is now being held about every eighteen months, alternately in the United States and then outside. The present pattern is to hold one meeting in East Asia, then in the USA, then in Europe and again in the USA However, for...

The 105 theses contained in this book are selected from those whose authors were present at the 20th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging. held at Southeast University. Nanjing. China. during September 12-14. 1992. It was the first time that the symposium had been held in China. Our efforts to host the conference goes back to the 15th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging held in Halifax. Canada. in 1986. We are glad that the 20th symposium has been successfully held at last. We are ardent for the symposium not only because we attach much importance to the field of acoustical...

This volume contains 131 of the papers presented at the 22nd International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging. This meeting, which was held for the first time in Florence, Italy, on September 3-6, 1995, allowed an intense and friendly exchange of ideas between over 150 researchers from 26 different countries of Europe (70%), America (20%), Asia and Australia (10%). The Symposium started on Sunday, September 3, with the opening Session held in the magnificent 'Salone dei 500' in Palazzo Vecchio; this included invited talks by Peter WeHs and Hua Lee, who reviewed the State of the Art in Acoustical...

This volume represents the proceedings of the 21 st International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging, which was held at the Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach, California, March 28-30, 1994. These unique and highly interdisciplinary series of symposiums have met at intervals of roughly 18 months over the past 30 some years. In general these meetings are devoted to all aspects and all fields of imaging that use acoustics. The meetings are usually small, with 100 to 200 participants, and stimulate useful interchanges across disciplines. These are the only regular meetings where the major...

This book contains the technical papers presented at the 16th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging which was held in Chicago, Illinois USA from June 10-12, 1987. This meeting has long been a leading forum for acoustic imaging scientists and engineers to meet and exchange ideas from a wide range of disciplines. As evidenced by the diversity of topical groups into which the papers are organized, participants at the meeting and readers of this volume can benefit from developments in medical imaging, materials testing, mathematics, microsocopy and seismic exploration. A common...

The 17th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging was held at Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, during May 31-June 2, 1988. The symposium was organized by the ultrasonics research group of Tohoku University and the IEEE ijFFC Society, Tokyo Chapter. Of the 128 papers submitted, 88 were presented during the symposium, which comprised 144 researchers from 13 countries. This volume contains 81 papers as the record of the symposium and is clas sified into the following sections: (1) Acoustic Microscopy and its Applications; (2) Non-Destructive Evaluation; (3) Signal Processing of Images; (4)...
