Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015011393A1] The invention relates to an acoustic-electric imaging method, which includes: (a) a measurement step during which incident ultrasonic waves having different wavefronts are emitted in a medium 1 to be imaged, and at least one electric sensor is used to capture raw electric signals Eraw1 (t) respectively during the propagation of the incident waves; (b) a step of forming an image, during which an image of the medium including an electric current map is determined from the raw electric signals Eraw1 (t).
