Abstract
The invention is a new system for deep penetration medical imaging in a comprehensive medical system. Imaging is based on beamformed television methods that utilize orthogonal arrays to image three dimensions with high resolution. The comprehensive medical system is a flexible apparatus that includes detection, diagnostic, and treatment capabilities. Deep penetration operation in attenuating tissue is enhanced by semi-collimated beams which improve signal to noise ratio. The semi-collimated beams improve control of the field of view and simplify signal processing. Embodiments include additional features to enhance deep penetration imaging and make it practical.
