Abstract

A method and system (includes 104, 108, 112) for examining tissue are provided in which the tissue is maintained in a position so that it may be insonified with a plurality of pulsed spherical or scattered acoustic radiation including a mix of reflected and transmitted acoustic waves (at block 208) is received. A representation of a portion of the tissue is then derived from the received scattered acoustic radiation.
