Abstract
The output signal from an ultrasound pulse-echo system is a function of several factors: the geometry of the ultrasound transducer, and the location, orientation, shape and size of the reflecting structure. The relationship between these factors and the output signal is very complex, so numerical modeling is required to predict the output signal for a given measurement configuration.
