With recent advances in cancer therapeutics, there is a great need for improved imaging
methods for characterizing cancer onset and progression in a quantitative and actionable …

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) offers a non-invasive and objective way to quantify tissue
health. We recently presented a spatially adaptive regularization method for reconstruction …

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The
ability to predict patients at risk for preterm birth remains a major health challenge. The …

Uterine cervical remodeling is a fundamental feature of pregnancy, facilitating the delivery of
the fetus through the cervical canal. Yet, we still know very little about this process due to the …

As pregnancy progresses, the cervix remodels from a rigid structure to one pliable enough to
allow delivery of a fetus, a process that involves progressive disorganization of cervical …

Methods to assess ultrasound backscatter anisotropy from clinical array transducers have
recently been developed. However, they do not provide information about the anisotropy of …

The cervix has two biomechanical functions: to remain closed while the fetus develops
throughout pregnancy, and to open for delivery of the fetus at full term. This dual function is …

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Currently,
the prediction of PTB is based on the identification of a short (less than 25 mm) cervix length …

Multiple scattering of waves presents challenges for imaging complex media but offers
potential for their characterization. Its onset is actually governed by the scattering mean free …
