ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A technique of displaying information obtained by ultrasonic echoscopic examination of an object includes the steps of transmitting pulses of ultrasonic energy along a plura- lity of beams into the object and receiving echoes of said pulses reflected along the beams by acoustic impedance discontinuities within the object. The beams are directed from a plurality of spaced positions relative to the object and along a plurality of beam directions at each position. The echoes received along every alternate beam are selected in sequence within the selected group of the plurality of beams. A first display of information representative of the position of acoustic impedance discontinui- ties within the object from the remaining echoes received along the plurality of beams is formed as a compound scan of the object. A second display of information from the selected echoes received along selected beams is formed substantially simultaneously as a simple scan of the object.
