In the early 1950's, research was started at the University of Lund on the use of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in cardiology, neurology, and gynecology. The results of this work provided impetus for the later development of the ultrasonic echo method into a routine procedure in many fields of medicine. A historical review of this fundamental work is given in this paper which also stresses the importance of a stimulating and free atmosphere for the development of new ideas in research.
