Objective. To estimate the average scatterer properties from ultrasonic backscatter in tissues
for evaluating differences between neoplastic and healthy tissues. Methods. Parametric …

The authors propose a robust model for characterizing the statistical nature of signals
obtained from ultrasonic backscatter processes. The model can accommodate frequency …

The frequency dependence of RF signals backscattered from random media (tissues) has
been used to describe the microstructure of the media. The frequency dependence of the …

Estimations of scattering parameters, such as average scatterer diameter, from rf signals
backscattered from random media (tissues) are made from the frequency dependence of the …

Ultrasonic scattering is related to tissue architecture by a model which expresses the
scattered wave pressure as the product of a frequency-dependent factor and the three …

Ultrasonic backscattered signals contain frequency-dependent information that is usually
discarded to produce conventional B-mode images. It is hypothesized that parametrization …

Ultrasonic Scattering in Biological Tissues contains 14 chapters written by world-renowned
authorities who describe current work related to theoretical and experimental aspects of …

Scatterer properties like the average effective scatterer diameter and acoustic concentration
were determined in vivo using a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technique from two tumor …

The reliability of the estimation of the size of scattering structures is assessed by realistic
simulations and phantom experiments. The acoustic tissue model used in the simulation …
