ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic imaging system for transmitting ultrasonic pulses into an object and detecting reflected ultrasonic waves therefrom. The system is provided with delay lines for real time imaging. The system comprises a probe means having a transmitting bundle of acoustic waveguides for transmitting ultrasonic pulses into an object. The transmitting bundle includes the delay lines which consists of having cladded acoustic waveguides of different lengths for introducing different delays in the ultrasonic pulses carried by each waveguide.
