AB  - This paper presents a new imaging method based on the classical Hall effect (HE), 
      which describes the origin of a detectable voltage from a conductive object 
      moving in a magnetic field. HE images are formed using ultrasound imaging 
      techniques in a magnetic field. These images reflect the electrical properties of 
      the sample. To demonstrate the feasibility of this method, images of plastic and 
      biological samples are collected. The contrast mechanism and signal-to-noise 
      issues are discussed. Since electrical parameters vary widely among tissue types 
      and pathological states, HE imaging may be a useful tool for biological research 
      and medical diagnosis.
