※ Summary: Ultrasonic images are widely used to visualize the inside of the body during medical diagnosis. The diagnostic ultrasound industry is steadily growing because it has many advantages such as no invasions, ease of ment, relatively inexpensive costs and real-time images. Mathematics is used in various techniques used in ultrasound images, which describe the history of ultrasound, the basic principles of ultrasound images, the application of mathematics, the technological trends of domestic industries and their contribution to mathematics, and the unresolved problems in ultrasound images.

Abstract : Ultrasound imaging is a widely used tool for visualizing human body’s internal organs and quantifying clinical parameters. Due to its advantages such as safety, noninvasiveness, portability, low cost and real-time 2D/3D imaging, diagnostic ultrasound industry has steadily grown. Since the technology advancements such as digital beam-forming, Doppler ultrasound, real-time 3D imaging and automated diagnosis techniques, there are still a lot of demands for image quality improvement, faster and accurate imaging, 3D color Doppler imaging and advanced functional imaging modes. In order to satisfy those demands, mathematics should be used properly and effectively in ultrasound imaging. Mathematics has been used commonly as mathematical modelling, numerical solutions and visualization, combined with science and engineering. In this article, we describe a brief history of ultrasound imaging, its basic principle, its applications in obstetrics/gynecology, cardiology and radiology, domestic-industrial products, contributions of mathematics and challenging issues in ultrasound imaging.
