Multi-parameter inversion for medical ultrasound leads to an improved tissue classification. In general, simultaneous reconstruction of volume density of mass and compressibility would require knowledge of the particle velocity field along with the pressure field. However, in practice the particle velocity field is not measured.

Whole-breast ultrasound scanning systems are used to screen a women's breast for suspicious lesions. Typically, the transducers are located at fixed positions at relatively large distances from the breast to avoid any contact with the breast. Unfortunately, these large distances give rise to large spatial domains to be imaged.

Synthetic-aperture (SA) imaging is a popular method to visualize the reflectivity of an object from ultrasonic reflections. The method yields an image of the (volume) contrast in acoustic impedance with respect to the embedding. Typically, constant mass density is assumed in the underlying derivation.
