In ultrasound imaging, sound waves in the range of 1 to 20 MHz are used to observed the internal structure of the body. Ultrasound waves are reflected, scattered and absorbed by the body, with the reflected component being recorded in the form of an image. Research in this field looks into developing new hardware technologies and image processing techniques to improve 3D ultrasound imaging modalities. The end application is to allow screening and quantification of atherosclerotic plaque, which is the leading cause behind cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease worldwide.
