Quantitative ultrasound is a cutting-edge ultrasound technology which can measure
quantified information related to tissue or material microstructures from ultrasound …

The homodyned-K (HK) distribution model is a generalized backscatter envelope statistical
model for ultrasound tissue characterization, whose parameters are of physical meaning. To …

In this paper, we explored the feasibility of using ultrasound Nakagami-m parametric
imaging based on Gaussian pyramid decomposition (GPD) to detect microwave ablation …

Driven by the loss of bone calcium, the elderly are prone to osteoporosis, and regular
routine checks on bone status are necessary, which mainly rely on bone testing equipment …

In this paper, we present the kernel density estimation (KDE)-based parallelized ultrasound
entropy imaging and apply it for hepatic steatosis characterization. A KDE technique was …

Purpose Quantitative diagnosis of the degree of fibrosis progression is currently a focus of
attention for fatty liver in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, previous studies …

Ultrasound envelope statistics imaging, including ultrasound Nakagami imaging,
homodyned-K imaging, and information entropy imaging, is an important group of …

Purpose The contrasts of flowing blood in in vitro experiments using porcine blood and in
vivo measurements of human jugular veins were analyzed to demonstrate that the …

We compared the evaluation accuracy of amplitude envelope statistics under the
transmission and reception conditions of compounded plane wave imaging (CPWI) and …

Pulse-echo quantitative ultrasound (PEQUS), which estimates the quantitative properties of
tissue microstructure, entails estimating the average attenuation and the backscatter …
