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

Although a variety of techniques have been developed to reduce the appearance of B-mode
speckle, quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims at extracting the hidden properties of the tissue …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims to reveal information about the tissue microstructure
using backscattered echo signals from clinical scanners. Among different QUS parameters …

This chapter reviews some of the recent advances in the estimation of the local and the total
attenuation, with an emphasis on reducing the bias and variance of the estimates. A special …

Quantitative ultrasound methods aim to estimate the acoustic properties of the underlying
medium, such as the attenuation and backscatter coefficients, and have applications in …

Objectives Here we report on the intra‐and inter‐operator variability of the backscatter
coefficient (BSC) estimated with a new low‐variance quantitative ultrasound (QUS) …

Quantitative analysis of radio frequency (RF) signals obtained from ultrasound scanners can
yield objective parameters that are gaining clinical relevance as imaging biomarkers. These …

The granular appearance of B-mode image emanates from scattering particles, rendering
visual assessment of B-mode image difficult. However, the analysis of echo signals that …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims at recovering quantitative properties of tissue
microstructure by investigating the power spectra of the radio frequency data or statistics of …

Ultrasound is a medical imaging modality with many advantages, such as being real-time,
portable, and cost-effective. Nevertheless, it provides a qualitative representation of the …
