Ultrasound computed tomography (UCT) is a new revolution imaging technique in clinic, which was first proposed by Greenleaf from Mayo Clinic in 1980’s, and become active in recent 10 years. In this study, we present our research advances in UCT, both techniques and clinic applications. First, an ultrasound computed tomography imaging technique to solve the small breast problem is introduced, which a set of moldings made of solid gel coupling agent (SGCA) are designed for shaping the small breast in UCT, such that a high quality and complete breast can be acquired; secondly, a new UCT technique based on sparse representation and AI technology is developed, which can greatly speed up the imaging speed in UCT by sparsely emission instead of full complete emission; finally many clinic application examples are described to demonstrate the possible potential application in clinic. Furthermore, the future works in UCT in HUST are given.
