Reported here is a phantom-based comparison of methods for determining the power
spectral density (PSD) of ultrasound backscattered signals. Those power spectral density …

There is a need for cancer imaging to provide “real-time” information about the metabolic
and cellular responses of tumours. Quantitative ultrasound techniques have recently been …

Premature delivery is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Currently,
premature delivery cannot be prevented and new treatments are difficult to develop due to …

The frequency-dependent ultrasound backscatter from tissues contains information about
the microstructure that can be quantified. In many cases, the anatomic microstructure details …

The objective of this study was to determine whether estimates of ultrasonic attenuation
could detect changes in the cervix associated with medically induced cervical remodeling …

We describe a novel automatic diagnostic system based on quantitative analysis of
ultrasound data for differential diagnosis of melanocytic skin tumors. The proposed method …

Objective. The purpose of this research was to detect cervical ripening with a new
quantitative ultrasound technique. Methods. Cervices of 13 nonpregnant and 65 timed …

Estimating total ultrasound attenuation from backscatter data is essential in the field of
quantitative ultrasound (QUS) because of the need to compensate for attenuation when …

Estimating the losses of ultrasound signal energy with propagation depth as a function of
frequency is essential for quantifying tissue properties. Specifically, ultrasound attenuation is …

The analysis of the ultrasonic frequency-dependent backscatter coefficient of aggregating
red blood cells reveals information about blood structural properties. The difficulty in …
