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

The properties that in practice are used for providing information about the structure of
biological tissues, and which contribute to the physically complicated process of formation of …

In vivo attenuation and backscatter coefficients of normal human forearm dermis and
subcutaneous fat were determined in the ranges 14 to 50 MHz and 14 to 34 MHz …

An adaptation to a data reduction method is outlined for determining backscatter coefficients,
eta, when broad-bandwidth pulses are employed. The accuracy of these eta values is …

Quantitative ultrasonic methods were studied for characterizing skin lesions in vivo using
contact dermatitis as an example. The parameters studied include skin thickness …

This paper describes an extension of our broadband method for estimating backscatter
coefficients from random media to include data from array transducers. Four different …

By analyzing backscattered echo signal power spectra and thereby obtaining backscatter
coefficient vs. frequency data, the size of subresolution scatterers contributing to echo …

We evaluated quantitative ultrasonic methods for assessment of carotid plaque content. In
vitro measurements of fixed, carotid plaque specimens obtained by surgical endarterectomy …

A procedure for the measurement of intrinsic scattering object properties is presented and
used to obtain illustrative results. The procedure is based on the measurement of the …

B-Mode scanning, the most frequently used diagnostic ultrasound modality, produces gray-
scale images from echo signals resulting when pulsed ultrasound beams propagate through …
