Objectives Here we report on the intra‐and inter‐operator variability of the backscatter
coefficient (BSC) estimated with a new low‐variance quantitative ultrasound (QUS) …

Clinical analysis of breast ultrasound imaging is done qualitatively, facilitated with the
ultrasound breast imaging–reporting and data system (US BI-RADS) lexicon, which helps to …

Objective. To translate quantitative ultrasound (QUS) from the laboratory into the clinic, it is
necessary to demonstrate that the measurements are platform independent. Because the …

According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, breast cancer is the most common
cancer among Canadian women. In 2012, an estimated 22,700 women were diagnosed and …

Objective The study described here was aimed at assessing the capability of quantitative
ultrasound (QUS) based on the backscatter coefficient (BSC) for classifying disease states …

Diagnostic ultrasound is ubiquitous in clinical practice because it is safe, portable,
inexpensive, has high spatial resolution and is real time. Therefore, improving the …

Purpose To develop a classification method based on the statistical backscatter properties of
tissues that can be used as an ancillary tool to the usual Breast Imaging Reporting and Data …

Objectives Quantitative ultrasound estimates such as the frequency‐dependent backscatter
coefficient (BSC) have the potential to enhance noninvasive tissue characterization and to …

Objectives The scattering is the fundamental phenomena used for US imaging of specific
organs. In this study the method searching for best fitted statistical distribution of the …

Purpose: Tumor grading is an important part of breast cancer diagnosis and currently
requires biopsy as its standard. Here, the authors investigate quantitative ultrasound …
