Frequency-dependent loss and dispersion are typically modeled with a power-law
attenuation coefficient, where the power-law exponent ranges from 0 to 2. To facilitate …

In the recent literature concern has been raised regarding the validity of Kramers–Krönig
relations for media with ultrasonic attenuation obeying a frequency power law. It is …

The backscattered signal received from an insonified volume of tissue depends on tissue
properties, such as attenuation, velocity, density, and backscatter coefficient and on the …

A method is proposed to simulate the propagation of a broadband ultrasound pulse in a
lossy medium whose attenuation exhibits a power law frequency dependence. Using a bank …

A study was performed to find and test quantitative methods of analysing echographic
signals for the differentiation of diffuse liver diseases. An on-line data acquisition system was …

In the context of nondestructive testing (NDT), this article proposes an inverse problem
approach for the reconstruction of high-resolution ultrasonic images from full matrix capture …

A popular phantom in photoacoustic imaging is poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogel fabricated
by freezing and thawing (F–T) aqueous solutions of PVA. The material possesses acoustic …

Modulated (or coded) excitation signals can potentially improve the quality and increase the
frame rate in medical ultrasound scanners. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate …

Pulse compression techniques that are capable of producing a large signal-to-noise (SNR)
enhancement, have been used successfully in many different fields. For medical …

Principles and Applications of Therapeutic Ultrasound in Healthcare introduces concepts,
