Abstract
A method of forming an image of a region of interest using a pulse-echo imaging device is described. The method includes the steps of generating a pulse using the pulse-echo imaging device, causing the pulse to be incident on the region of interest to generate a reflected echo, receiving the reflected echo in the pulse-echo imaging device, comparing a measure of frequency content of the reflected echo to the transmitted pulse, and frequency shifted replicas of the transmitted pulse, wherein each is associated with a unique label, selecting a label based on the comparison, and generating an image incorporating the selected label.
