Abstract
The use of ultrasonic waves in the medical field is quite advanced, especially in the area of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the human body and is quite common. Also, in Non-Destructive Testing of metal (for example weld checking), flaw detection with reliable 3D imaging is already in use. In the past 1 -2 years, the construction industry has made significant advances in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging of concrete structures, for finding problems, or irregularities inside, or just for confirming the quality of the construction work. This paper describes the principles of the different types of scan, A Scan, B Scan etc and how the scans can be combined to make 3D images. The advantages of multi head array systems in providing more detail and revealing depth information are shown. This paper will show the advantages of this development and how it can ease workflow.
Highlights
The use of ultrasonic waves in the medical field is quite advanced, especially in the area of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the human body and is quite common
The results showed that ultrasonic tomography was more efficient than conventional ultrasonic tests
Ultrasonic pulse echo scanning has developed significantly in recent years, but the main issue remains in interpretation of the images
Summary
The use of ultrasonic waves in the medical field is quite advanced, especially in the area of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the human body and is quite common. In the past 1 -2 years, the construction industry has made a big step in two-dimensional (2D) and threedimensional (3D) imaging of concrete structures, for finding problems, or irregularities inside, or just for confirming the quality of the construction work. This has been made possible by progress in the electronics industry (smaller, faster microchips, high resolution of screens) and the possibility to handle a big volume of data, with powerful software algorithms to produce and display two-dimensional (2D) and threedimensional (3D) objects. This paper will show the advantages of this development and how it can ease workflow
