Although a variety of techniques have been developed to reduce the appearance of B-mode
speckle, quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims at extracting the hidden properties of the tissue …

Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) techniques aim at quantifying backscatter tissue properties to
aid in disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. These techniques rely on accurately …

The spatial coherence of ultrasound backscatter has been proposed to reduce clutter in
medical imaging, to measure the anisotropy of the scattering source, and to improve the …

The rf signals used to construct conventional ultrasound B-mode images contain frequency-
dependent information that can be examined through the backscattered power spectrum …

Quantitative ultrasound techniques using backscattered echoes have had limited success in
vivo due to the frequency-dependent attenuation along the entire propagation path masking …

Quantitative ultrasonic techniques using backscatter coefficients (BSCs) may fail to produce
physically meaningful estimates of effective scatterer diameter (ESD) when the analysis …

Although quantitative ultrasound imaging based on backscattering coefficients has proven
potential for tissue characterization, the scattering models used in most studies assume …
