Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease
worldwide, with an estimated prevalence of up to 30% in the general population and higher …

This paper reviews the major developments that have taken place during the last three years
in imaging with computed tomography (CT) using X-ray, emission, and ultrasound sources …

Digital Picture Processing is a technique-oriented book aiming to teach the more extensive
treatments of digital pictures. The book discusses picture processing; the computer …

Background A tissue-mimicking phantom that accurately represents human-tissue properties
is important for safety testing and for validating new imaging techniques. To achieve a …

Clear delineation of breast architecture was achieved with compound pulse echo ultrasound
imaging in which the images were acquired in the coronal planes used for quantitative …

Short-time Fourier analysis is well suited for processing tissue echographic signals which
are nonstationary. We have investigated the use of short-time Fourier analysis to provide an …

A large range of values for ultrasonic attenuation and absorption coefficients of tissues are
reported in the literature. An important distinction both practically and theoretically is 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 …

Traditional broadband transmission method for measuring acoustic dispersion and
attenuation requires the measurement of the thickness of the specimen, the transmission …

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 …
