Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Three-dimensional ultrasonography been increasingly used by health care professionals as it provides some improvements, particularly regarding acquisition, training, and display modes. Considering the latter, tridimensional cine (3D cine) improves better depth perception; teal time three-dimensional ultrasound (4D) provides three-dimensional movement view at real time; tomography ultrasound image (TUI) permits displaying several parallel planes in only one image; volume contrasting imaging (VCI) improves image contrast and decreases artifacts between tissues; Omniview rectifies curvilinear structures to be viewed at the same plane; Sonographybased Volume Computer Aided Display (SonoVCAD) minimizes operator dependence by standardization of image acquisition; and spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) allows 3D acquisition of moving structures through a post processing volume set. In this chapter we will briefly summarize all these imaging modalities.
