Abstract
In the previous chapters, we have developed the expressions needed to describe separately the generation, propagation, transmission, diffraction, attenuation, scattering, and reception processes that are contained in an ultrasonic experiment. In this chapter, we will combine all of these elements together into a single model of the entire measurement process.
