This research addresses the variations in the ultrasonic backscatter from specimens
consisting of a suspension of approximately aligned cylindrical scatterers in a fluid medium …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the angular dependence of the
backscatter from canine myocardial tissue in vivo and to compare it with the variation of …

Measurements of the frequency dependence of ultrasonic backscatter are presented for
specific angles of insonification for regions of infarcted and noninfarcted human …

The physical structures responsible for ultrasonic scattering from myocardial tissue have not
yet been conclusively defined. It is hypothesized in this paper that the backscatter from …

The specific myocardial structural components that contribute to the observed level of
backscatter from the heart and its dependence on the angle of insonification have not been …

This paper presents the extension of our previous effort to determine quantitatively the
ultrasonic backscattering coefficients, defined as the power scattered by a unit volume …

Previous reports from our laboratory indicate that ultrasonic backscatter from myocardium
exhibits a cyclic variation during the cardiac cycle that is reduced sharply by ischemia, a …

Ultrasonic B‐mode images are formed from echoes backscattered from tissue structures in
the body. Quantitative analysis of this signal from tissues may provide additional information …

To determine whether contraction and relaxation influence quantitative myocardial
ultrasonic backscatter we measured systolic and diastolic integrated backscatter separately …

The content and organization of collagen in the cardiac interstitium may represent significant
determinants of the ultrasonic scattering properties of myocardium. This study was designed …
