Abstract
In various embodiments, apparatus and methods are provided to perform acoustic imaging. An acoustic wave can be acquired at a detector, where the acoustic wave propagates from a target to the detector. The target may be acoustically illuminated to provide the acoustic wave. A signal from the detector in response to acquiring the acoustic wave can be processed in a model such that the processing implements a synthetic acoustic lens to generate an image of the target. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
