Objective. We present the first fully two-dimensional attenuation imaging technique
developed for pulse-echo ultrasound systems. Unlike state-of-the-art techniques, which use …

This work presents a novel attenuation imaging technique for pulse-echo ultrasound
systems. In contrast to state-of-the-art techniques, we formulate the reconstruction in two …

Attenuation of ultrasound waves varies with tissue composition, hence its estimation offers
great potential for tissue characterization and diagnosis and staging of pathology. We …

Ultrasound attenuation is caused by absorption and scattering in tissue and is thus a
function of tissue composition, hence its imaging offers great potential for screening and …

The attenuating properties of biological tissue are of great importance in ultrasonic
examination even though its anatomical variability limits diagnostics effectiveness. We are …

Attenuation of ultrasound waves traversing a medium is not only a result of absorption and
scattering within a given tissue, but also of coherent scattering, including diffraction …

The capability of ultrasound transmission tomography to reconstruct acoustic parameters of
proven histological relevance like acoustic speed and attenuation has been established …

Speed-of-sound and attenuation of ultrasound waves vary in the tissues. There exist
methods in the literature that allow for spatially reconstructing the distribution of group speed …

Physical principles underlying the application of the techniques of computed tomography to
quantitative imaging of the ultrasonic attenuation within soft tissue specimens are explored …

Medical ultrasound is now progressing beyond its initial, and successful, phase, wherein its
principal purpose was to provide adequately high resolution (in both space and time) …
