Abstract
A synthetic Mill's Cross scanner array is provided for a sonographic system. The array includes orthogonal lines for which projector and hydrophone are respectively provided. During a scan of a target volume, the projector and the hydrophone elements are moved from first paired positions to second paired positions, etc. to n paired positions. Data from the scan is processed to provide three-dimensional data for displaying the target volume.
