Abstract
The earliest medical diagnostic ultrasound instrument was the A-Unit. Nowadays it is not itself of great importance but it is still at the heart of the more advanced types of instruments and therefore warrants some special attention. An understanding of the A-mode instrument is in many respects a prerequisite for understanding the more developed machines.
