A diagnostic process for generating, recognizing, and remotely examining layers of tooth using prod reflection data from physical waves to produce high-resolution quantitatively measurable 3D images. The present invention examines interior portions of tooth structure. The layers can be considered to be common impedance objects, which are present i n a uniform background. Acquire data sets for the area of interest and then acquire a 3 dimensional reflection data volume. This data is then subjected to diagnostic 3 dimensional processing to produce a vertical and horizontal high-resolution matrix. In a similar manner this method of imaging tooth structure can be used to measure other hard structures in the body (i.e. bon e) or outside the body (i.e. Cement, concrete, rock etc).
