New methods of 
ultrasound imaging are presented that provide images with reduced 
reverberation noise and images of 
nonlinear scattering and propagation parameters of the object, and 
estimation of corrections for wave front aberrations produced by spatial variations in the 
ultrasound propagation velocity. The methods are based on 
processing of the received 
signal from transmitted 
dual frequency band 
ultrasound pulse complexes with overlapping high and 
low frequency pulses. The 
high frequency pulse is used for the image reconstruction and the 
low frequency pulse is used to manipulate the 
nonlinear scattering and / or propagation properties of the 
high frequency pulse. A 1st method uses the scattered 
signal from a single dual band pulse complex for filtering in the fast time (depth time) to provide a 
signal with suppression of 
reverberation noise and with 1st 
harmonic sensitivity and increased spatial resolution. In other methods two or more dual band pulse complexes are transmitted where the frequency and / or the phase and / or the amplitude of the 
low frequency pulse vary for each transmitted pulse complex. Through filtering in the 
pulse number coordinate and corrections of nonlinear propagation delays and optionally also amplitudes, a linear back scattering signal with suppressed pulse 
reverberation noise, a nonlinear back scattering signal, and quantitative 
nonlinear scattering and 
forward propagation parameters are extracted. The reverberation suppressed signals are further useful for 
estimation of corrections of wave front aberrations, and especially useful with broad transmit beams for multiple parallel receive beams. Approximate estimates of aberration corrections are given. The nonlinear signal is useful for imaging of differences in tissue properties, such as micro-calcifications, in-growth of 
fibrous tissue or foam cells, or micro gas bubbles as found with decompression or injected as ultrasound contrast agent. The methods are also useful with transmission imaging for generating the measured data for 
tomography and 
diffraction tomography image reconstructions.
