In the paper, the volume of an object is reconstructed from vertical projections registered at fixed angular positions of the multi-element linear ultrasonic probe rotated in relation to the object submerged in water. The possible configurations are: vertical lateral, vertical top or vertical bottom. In the vertical lateral configuration, the ultrasonic probe acquires 2-D images of object’s vertical cross-sections, turning around its lateral surface. In the vertical top or bottom configuration, the ultrasonic probe acquires 2-D images of the object’s vertical cross-sections, turning on the horizontal plane over the top or under the bottom surface of the object. The method of recording 3-D volume of an object’s structure and reconstruction algorithm have been designed. Studies show the method in the vertical top or bottom configuration could be successfully applied to the effective 3-D visualisation of the structure of the female breast in vivo as the new complement ultrasonic imaging modality in the prototype of the developed ultrasound tomography scanner.}, type={Article}, title={Analysis of Using Multi-Angle Conventional Ultrasound Scanning for Efficient 3-D Object Imaging}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/113229/PDF/aoa.2019.129723.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aoa.2019.129723}, keywords={ultrasonic imaging, multi-angle scanning, efficient 3-D imaging, ultrasound tomography}, }
