Abstract

Improving lateral resolution in ultrasonic tomograms is still a challenging problem as the published attempts to date, based on linear image processing techniques either in the video or the r.f.-domain (Ardouin, 1985; Demoment et al., 1984; Robinson and Wing, 1984), have shown only a little, if any, improvement under realistic conditions. It seems that only nonlinear algorithms could provide practically useful results.
