## Abstract Realβtime ultrasound is a dynamic imaging technique that allows in utero orientation to the fetus. It permits rapid and efficient examination of fetal anatomy and provides a dynamic assessment of fetal wellβbeing. The energy dissipation can be comparable to that in conventional ultrason

Abstract
The physical principles and clinical applications of a highβresolution, dynamically focused phasedβarray real time ultrasound system are described. Advantages of the real time technique include rapid survey capability, efficient selection of an appropriate tomographic plane, identification of pulsating structures, and dynamic studies. The capabilities of a high resolution phased array with extended dynamic focusing to a range of 15β20 cm are demonstrated in vascular, abdominal, and obstetric imaging. Appropriate clinical examples showing normal and pathological anatomy are presented. Comparisons with conventional B scans are illustrated.

This paper discusses a method for real-time gesture recognition from a dynamic image and its application to an interactive system. The proposed technique enables a large volume of dynamic image information to be processed efficiently, by using a low-dimensional gesture space to represent a partial i
Perforation of the gallbladder can now be diagnosed in a noninvase fashion due to advent of gray-scale sonography. Conditions that may simulate gallbladder perforation in sonograms include pericholecystic fluid collection, ascites, pancreatitis, and peri t ~n i t i s . l -~ These signs, however, are
The aim of this study was to test a prototype MRI-compatible focused ultrasound phased array system for trans-skull brain tissue ablation. Rabbit thigh muscle and brain were sonicated with a prototype, hemispherical 500-element ultrasound phased array operating at frequencies of 700-800 kHz. An ex v
