The measurement of tissue attenuation from pulse-echo data has been widely investigated.
This paper examines correction of the measurements for the effect of the transducer beam …

The accuracy of the spectral difference method for measuring ultrasonic attenuation has
been investigated using tissue-mimicking phantoms. Attenuation coefficients of the phantom …

The principles of a narrowband technique for pulse echo attenuation measurements are
presented. Experiments are described which compare the attenuation in tissue-mimicking …

Various means of characterizing ultrasonic attenuation in tissue are reviewed. A simple
method for estimating frequency-dependent attenuation via measurement of the zero …

In this paper we show that one can measure integrated attenuation for a soft-tissue structure
simply by measuring the center frequencies of the incident and transmitted pulses. Except …

In the estimation of ultrasound attenuation in biological tissue, diffraction phenomena
introduce bias due to their depth dependent filtering effect. The spectral high frequency …

Global and local attenuation coefficient estimates were calculated using three methods: the
envelope peak method, the central-frequency-downshift method, and the zero-crossing …

This paper describes the calculation of absolute ultrasonic attenuation as a function of
frequency by processing backscattered signals obtained from a clinical imaging instrument …

This study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of computed ultrasonic tomography for
providing local, quantitative values of an ultrasonic index of attenuation, on the premise that …

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