Attenuation measurements were performed on the quadriceps femoris muscle of 10 normal
volunteers. The measurements were made using a statistical narrowband pulse echo …

This monograph presents a tutorial review of the current state-of-the-art in ultrasonic
attenuation estimation in reflection. Clinical indications which provide the motivation for …

An integral expression is derived for the normalization of ultrasonic scattering data to obtain
an average differential scattering cross section per unit volume for tissue which is modeled …

A frequency domain signal processing scheme is developed for measuring attenuation and
attenuation slope in vivo, using equally spaced depth samples and linear regression …

A conventional ultrasonic B-scan image is converted into a volume backscatter image by
accounting for four propagation effects: dispersion of transmitted energy, beam width and …

Quantitataive images of selected acoustic parameters of tissues are obtained in cross
sections through tissues and in vivo human female breasts. Methods of calculating acoustic …

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an effective technique for creating coagulative
necrotic lesions in biological tissue, with a view to treating localized tumors. Although good …

This paper presents a theory for ultrasonic B-scan image formation. Our theory is based on
the assumption that imaging is done using broad-band signals and that all the information in …

The accuracy of a new method for measuring ultrasonic backscatter coefficients was tested,
using narrow‐band pulses and well‐defined media having scatterers randomly distributed in …

The relationship between center frequency downshift and transmitted bandwidth was
investigated for a pulse with Gaussian amplitude spectrum propagating through a lossy …
