Abstract

What is an ultrasound image? An image is a reproduction or imitation of the form of something. A major thrust of modern technology in the past century has been to enhance or complement the capability of the human sensory system with new imaging modalities. Examples that come to mind include the optical telescope, radar, sonar, infrared, and X-ray imaging systems.
