Ultrasound is now a clinically accepted modality in the management of osteoporosis. The
most common commercial clinical devices assess fracture risk from measurements of …

A method for estimating structural properties of random media is described. The size,
number density, and scattering strength of particles are estimated from an analysis of the …

A blood-mimicking fluid (BMF) suitable for use in Doppler flow test objects is described and
characterised. The BMF consists of 5 μm diameter nylon scattering particles suspended in a …

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

This review provides a comprehensive survey of the use of ultrasonic techniques with regard
to foods. Experimental work on a wide range of foodstuffs is reviewed critically and …

Objectives As are the attenuation coefficient and sound speed, the backscatter coefficient is
a fundamental ultrasonic property that has been used to characterize many tissues …

A new formulation for obtaining the absolute backscatter coefficient from pulse-echo
measurements is presented. Using this formulation, performing the diffraction correction and …

Interest in quantitative ultrasound scattering measurements in biological tissues stems from
the belief that only a fraction of the total information available in the echo signal is visible in …

The disclosure relates to a method of ultrasonically locating and aiming treatment at a body
target and displaying real time images of the body target. A treatment transducer produces a …

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 …
