Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described that include ultrasound imaging devices, which may operate in a transmissive ultrasound imaging modality, and which may be used to detect properties of interest of a subject such as index of refraction, density and/or speed of sound. Devices suitable for performing high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as well as HIFU and ultrasound imaging, are also described.

1-306. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- accessing at least one volumetric image of a subject calculated using a plurality of measurements of the subject, the plurality of measurements resulting at least in part from the detection of ultrasound radiation by an ultrasound imaging device operating in a transmissive modality;
- applying stereoscopic conversion to the at least one volumetric image to obtain a first stereoscopic image and a second stereoscopic image;
- and
- displaying three-dimensionally, via a three-dimensional display, the first stereoscopic image and the second stereoscopic image to a viewer.
