Acoustical Imaging

Researchers met at Shonan Village in Kanagawa, Japan, from 15 to 18 April 2007 for the 29th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging. The event has taken place every two years since 1968 and brings together work across all areas of acoustics, with an emphasis on new technologies, methods and theories.

The volumes that record these meetings have become established reference works in the field. This 29th installment gathers seventy papers arranged into nine categories: strain imaging; biological and medical applications; acoustic microscopy; non-destructive evaluation and industrial applications; components and systems; geophysics and underwater imaging; physics and mathematics; medical image analysis; and the FDTD method and other numerical simulations.

The collection offers both a broad survey of where the field currently stands and a closer look at its leading-edge research, making it useful to specialists in acoustics and imaging.
