Abstract
We report investigations regarding the possibility for improving ultrasonic imaging by an analysis of pulse deformations. Starting with a stochastic solution of the lossy wave equation, we present a general approach for perturbing stochastic processes on Lie groups by a Poisson process. Applications to radiation transport are indicated.
