The attenuation coefficient (AC) of tissue in medical ultrasound has great potential as a
quantitative biomarker due to its high sensitivity to pathological properties. In particular, AC …

This retrospective study was aimed (i) at elucidating the correlation between fatty liver
diagnoses based on the plain computed tomography (CT) value and those based on the …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging complements the standard B-mode images with a
quantitative represen-tation of the target's acoustic properties. Attenuation coefficient is an …

Ultrasound attenuation coefficient estimation (ACE) has great diagnostic potential for fatty
liver detection and assessment. In a previous study, we proposed a reference phantom-free …

Background Ultrasound attenuation analysis (USAT) is a type of novel ultrasound
attenuation imaging that can be used to detect hepatic steatosis based on the attenuation …

Objective. Ultrasound attenuation coefficient estimation (ACE) has diagnostic potential for
clinical applications such as quantifying fat content in the liver. Previously, we have …

Attenuation imaging is a novel, ultrasound-based technique to objectively detect and
quantify liver steatosis. In this study, we evaluated the performance and inter-observer …

We present a spatially weighted total variation regularization based method for measuring
the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient estimate (ACE). We propose a new approach to adapt …

Purpose This study's primary aim was to assess factors affecting ultrasound attenuation
coefficient (AC) measurement repeatability using the Canon ultrasound (US) system. The …

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasound-guided
attenuation parameter (UGAP) for the detection of hepatic steatosis in comparison with the …
