Tissue harmonic depletion imaging

The inhomogeneous imaging advantages offered by finite amplitude distortion appear to be obtainable in an indirect fashion. Instead of acquiring images based on the accretion of amplitude in a higher harmonic bandwidth, comparable images could be obtained using the corresponding depletion of amplitude from a lower harmonic bandwidth. Such an approach offers some advantages over traditional harmonic imaging, including reduced bandwidth demands, and more generally could be a useful complement to the traditional approach.
