Dear Users:

I am a graduate student in applied mathematics at the University of 
Chicago and am working on finite element methods.  I am interested in
examining the propagation of acoustic waves (ultrasound) through the
human body using numerical methods assuming CT/MRI scans of the 
geometry and density.  Does anyone know of code or a mathematical
model of such a system (second order hyperbolic PDE's with parabolic-
energy loss)?  I am interested in attempting such a model but do not wish
to "re-invent" the wheel.  Any information that you might provide
would be *greatly* appreciated.  Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Chris Haase
