Cetacean experts: Wikipedia alludes to the possibility that dolphins can transmit actual images of their surroundings to other dolphins using ultrasound. To what extent is this true?

Could we intercept and decode these messages and obtain a dolphin's mental picture of an object that it has observed? link here
