Oceanographers may well map the ocean floor in the same way. And at frequencies between 1 and 10 megacycles, diagnostic holograms may some day chart not only tumors, but soft areas of the body-such as muscles, blood vessels and brain tissue-that can not be usually seen with standard X-ray techniques...
