PREFACE
This volume contains 131 of the papers presented at the 22nd International Symposium
on Acoustical Imaging. This meeting, which was held for the first time in Florence, Italy, on
September 3-6, 1995, allowed an intense and friendly exchange of ideas between over 150
researchers from 26 different countries of Europe (70%), America (20%), Asia and Australia
(10%).
The Symposium started on Sunday, September 3, with the opening Session held in the
magnificent 'Salone dei 500' in Palazzo Vecchio; this included invited talks by Peter WeHs
and Hua Lee, who reviewed the State of the Art in Acoustical Imaging research. One hundred
and forty papers, selected from the nearly 200 submitted Abstracts, were presented in 11
non-parallel oral Sessions and one Poster Session.
This year a 'Best Poster' award was introduced, which was won by V.Miette, M.Fink
and F.Wu. Also, a special session on Acoustical Microscopy was organized by Walter Arnold,
in which invited speakers Ioie Iones, Oleg Kolosov, Andrew Briggs and Ute Rabe reviewed
the capabilities of this em erging topic.
The success of the Symposium was of course due to many contributions. First, all we
would like to thank the authors for their qualified and enthusiastic participation. For three and
a half days they created an atmosphere combining science, culture and fellowship. In addition,
an important role was played by the members of the International Advisory Board, who not
only reviewed the Abstracts, but also carefully assisted each step of the conference
organization. Special thanks are due to Ioie Iones for his continuous help and encouragement.
Finally, the Editors wish to acknowledge support received from the University of
Florence, Area di Ricerca-CNR, CESVIT, Regione Toscana and EsaOte Biomedica. The
enthusiastic help of Gabriele Guidi and colleagues of the Dipartimento di Ingegneria
Elettronica of the University of Florence, is also gratefully acknowledged.
The 23rd International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging will be held in Boston, USA,
in April 1997. We would like to express our best wishes to Sidney Lees as chairman of this
