摘要

A method of determining at least part of the structure of an object, the method comprising the steps of providing at least one wideband acoustic signal transmission and reception device, the at least one wideband acoustic signal transmission and reception device being capable of transmitting and receiving one or more wideband acoustic signals, using the at least one wideband acoustic signal transmission and reception device to transmit at least one wideband acoustic signal towards at least a portion of the object, using the at least one wideband acoustic signal transmission and reception device to receive at least one wideband acoustic signal from the object, using the received at least one wideband acoustic signal from the object to createat least one acoustic data set, and analysing the at least one acoustic data set to determine the at least part of the structure of the object.
