See full text

The internal examination of a human organ (3) is made by means of an ultrasonic probe (2) inserted into the organ (3), analogue echo signals from the probe being converted to digital signals (8) which are then stored in a digital computer (10) where they are manipulated to produce a variety of three-dimensional representations of the interior of the organ for display on a terminal (12) or as hard copy (13).
