Stability and duration of ultrasonic phantoms are still subjects of research. This work
presents a tissue-mimicking material (TMM) to evaluate high-intensity therapeutic ultrasound …

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) of
quantitative ultrasound (QUS) estimates, specifically attenuation coefficient (AC) and …

Shear wave elastography (speed and dispersion), local attenuation coefficient slope and
homodyned-K parametric imaging were used for liver steatosis grading. These ultrasound …

In vivo estimations of the frequency-dependent acoustic attenuation (α) and backscatter (η)
coefficients using radiofrequency (rf) echoes acquired with clinical ultrasound systems must …

Ultrasonic non-destructive testing of polycrystalline structures can be disturbed by scattering
at grain boundaries. Understanding and modeling this so-called “structural noise” is crucial …

Ultrasonic backscattering coefficient (BSC) has been used extensively to characterize tissue.
In most cases, sparse scatterer concentrations are assumed. However, many types of …

Anthropomorphic phantoms have been used to provide residents with training in ultrasound-
guided breast biopsy. However, different individuals differ in terms of the acoustic properties …

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

A key step toward implementing quantitative ultrasound techniques in a clinical setting is
demonstrating that parameters such as the ultrasonic backscatter coefficient (BSC) can be …

Objectives The American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System
(BI‐RADS) atlas for ultrasound (US) qualitatively describes the echogenicity and attenuation …
