This research is directed towards the fundamental bioengineering                problem of utilization of ultrasound to differentiate between normal            and abnormal tissue.  The Principle Investigator will compose a new             algorithm for interpretation of the signals received by ultrasound              transducers.  The basic concept is to employ a pattern recognition              algorithm which can use a more extensive diagnosis of the ultrasound            signal including the time and frequency domains.  Success of such an            analysis could preclude the necessity of biopsy examination for                 classification of tissue abnormality.
