Abstract

The article describes the progress of construction and research works on ultrasound tomography. The devices allow for non-invasive measurements of various objects using ultrasonic low and high-frequency transducers. The first constructions were made in a dispersed system with active measurement probes using 40 kHz converters. The next constructions were centralized into one measurement system where the measurement probes were connected separately. As a result, the measuring range of the supported ultrasonic transducers with 300 kHz, 400 kHz and 1 MHz has been extended. Apart from transmission and reflection tomography, the latest designs allow for controlling the ultrasound beam (beamforming) and support transducers up to 5 MHz.
