Method and apparatus for reflection mode imagingA volume is scanned with a raster scan about a center of rotation using a transmitter/receiver at a selected range while gating a range window on the receiver with a selected range differential. The received signals are then demodulated to obtain signals representative of a property within the volume being scanned such as the density of a tumor. The range is varied until the entire volume has been scanned at all ranges to be displayed. An imaging display is synchronously scanned together with the raster scan to display variations of the property on the display. A second transmitter/receiver with associated equipment may be offset from the first and variations displayed from each of the transmitter/receivers on its separate display. The displays may then be combined stereoscopically to provide a three-dimensional image representative of variations of the property.
