Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 2, further comprising
generating, by the one or more processors, second control instructions including a second angle of propagation of the ultrasonic beam with respect to the target surface based upon the current speed of sound when the determined current speed of sound differs from the predetermined speed of sound by an amount greater than a speed threshold, the second control instructions generated dynamically by the one or more processors responsive to replacing the single element ultrasonic probe with the phased array ultrasonic probe;
receiving, by the phased array ultrasonic probe, the second control instructions; and
generating, by the phased array ultrasonic probe, a second ultrasonic beam propagating at the second angle specified by the second control instructions.
