The ultrasonic backscatter coefficient (BSC) is a fundamental quantitative ultrasound (QUS)
parameter that contains rich information about the underlying tissue. Deriving parameters …

A detailed derivation of a quantity, defined as the acoustic power per unit solid angle far from

Abstract Characterization of the interference patterns observed in B-mode images (ie,
speckle statistics) is a valuable tool in tissue characterization. However, changes in echo …

Ultrasound, which is routinely used for diagnostic imaging applications, is mainly qualitative.
However, novel quantitative ultrasound techniques are being developed for diagnosing …

Use of the reference phantom method for computing acoustic attenuation and backscatter is
widespread. However, clinical application of these methods has been limited by the need to …

Voice disorders of teachers, from the functional dysphonia to the vocal fold nodules, are
likely to result from voice abuse, erroneous behaviors in the use of voice and changes in the …

Ultrasound has been used for imaging and diagnostics for more than 50 years. During that
time, the number of medical applications for ultrasonic imaging has increased dramatically …

Two optical techniques and two ultrasound methods have been applied on an excised
mouse tumor with the aim of estimating its microstructural properties. Enhanced …
