In medical and other important applications, it is desirable to achieve transmissive ultrasonic 3D imaging in “real time.” Until now, transmissive ultrasonic images have been possible, but either in real time 2D or relatively slow 3D. By using an ultrasonic stereo camera and a real time viewing system, live and interactive 3D transmissive ultrasonic images have been produced. Fast transmissive ultrasound tomography has been achieved by using a single ultrasonic camera. Some advantages and applications are discussed.
