We compared the evaluation accuracy of amplitude envelope statistics under the
transmission and reception conditions of compounded plane wave imaging (CPWI) and …

The double–Nakagami (DN) model provides a method for analyzing the amplitude envelope
statistics of quantitative ultrasound (QUS). In this study, the relationship between the sound …

Many methods for the analysis of amplitude envelope statistics have been proposed in
recent decades to enable echo signal characterization and realize quantitative diagnosis …

Plane wave imaging is a relatively new technique in ultrasound imaging. However, in
traditional methods, the coherent information of different emissions and different elements …

Ultrasound Nakagami imaging has recently attracted interest as an imaging technique for
