Abstract
Computer reconstruction of images from digitized ultrasonic wavefronts is discussed. The phase and amplitude of the scattered wavefront are scanned and digitized. The digital record is processed to yield a digital image. The digital image may be displayed in several ways, the most interesting being the kinoform display technique.
