Abstract
In a high resolution ultrasonic tomograph operating according to transmission, scattering and impulse-echo methods, comprising a container with an open top and including ultrasonic transducers arranged along the walls of the container, a coupling medium disposed in the container and a computer-based control and evaluation unit with a working memory, the control and evaluation unit is connected in a circuit with the ultrasonic transducers in such a way that the ultrasonic signal emitted from at least one ultrasonic transducer forms an ultrasonic impulse which is received by all the other transducers in parallel and is amplified, filtered and digitized to form electric signals which are stored in the working memory as a data set.
