Very-High Frequency Ultrasonic Imaging and Spectral Assays of the Eye

  • Chapter
Acoustical Imaging

Part of the book series: Acoustical Imaging ((ACIM,volume 23))

Abstract

During the past several years, focused ultrasonic transducers operating at center frequencies near 50 MHz have become available for pulse-echo imaging.1 The large bandwidths (e.g., 30 MHz) and narrow beamwidths (e.g., 75 urn) afforded by these transducers have greatly increased the resolution attainable for examining superficial segments of the body.
