The origin ofthe International Acoustical Imaging Symposium series
can be traced to 1967, when a meeting on acoustical holography was
held in C alifornia. In those days, acoustical holography was at
the leading edge of research but, as the importance of this subject
waned, so the title of the series was changed from Acoustical
Holography to Acoustical Imaging in 1978. The early Symposia were
held at various venues in the United States. In 1980. the series
became international, with the Symposium that year taking place in
Cannes in France. The pattern now is to try to met alternately in
the USA and in another part of the world so that active researchers
everywhere can conveniently attend at a reasonably high frequency.
It was a great privilege for us in Bristol in the United Kingdom to
be chosen to host the 25th Symposium, which convened on 19 March
2000 and spread over four days. We were blessed not only by good
weather, but also by the attendance ofnearly 100 pa rticipants who
came from 17 c ountries. A large number of papers were accepted for
presentation, either orally or as posters. Whether an oral
presentation or a poster, all were considered to have equal merit,
and no distinction is made between them in the published
proceedings. There were no parallel sessions, so every participant
could attend every presentation. The re sultant disciplinary cross
fertilisation maintained the t radition of past Symposia.
The presentation and interpretation of visual information is
essential to almost every activity in human life and most endeavors
of modern technology. This book examines the current status of what
is known (and not known) about human vision, how human observers
interpret visual data, and how to present such data to facilitate
their interpretation and use. Written by experts who are able to
cross disciplinary boundaries, the book provides an educational
pathway through several models of human vision; describes how the
visual response is analyzed and quantified; presents current
theories of how the human visual response is interpreted; discusses
the cognitive responses of human observers; and examines such
applications as space exploration, manufacturing, surveillance,
earth and air sciences, and medicine. The book is intended for
everyone with an undergraduate-level background in science or
engineering with an interest in visual science. This second edition
has been brought up to date throughout and contains a new chapter
on "Virtual reality and augmented reality in medicine."

Ultrasonic Exposimetry presents the fundamentals of ultrasonics and
discusses the theoretical background of acoustic wave generation
and reception. Measurements, instrumentation, and interpretation of
measured data (including error analysis) are examined in detail.
Ultrasound transducers, including transducers used in diagnostic
imaging and therapeutic applications, are described. This section
also presents a detailed description of transducers used in the
recently introduced extracorporeal lithotripsy procedure. Other
topics examined in the book include current trends in labeling and
characterizing acoustic devices (including present regulatory
requirements and future implications), the operation of
state-of-the-art miniature PVDF ultrasonic hydrophones and fiber
optic hydrophones, recent advances in transducer calibration and
calorimeter and radiation force measurements, and the intricacies
of statistical error analysis. Ultrasonic Exposimetry presents a
wealth of invaluable information for students, instructors,
researchers, biomedical engineers, and sonographers.
