Quantitative ultrasound methods aim to estimate the acoustic properties of the underlying
medium, such as the attenuation and backscatter coefficients, and have applications in …

Attenuation of ultrasound waves varies with tissue composition, hence its estimation offers
great potential for tissue characterization and diagnosis and staging of pathology. We …

One of the main limitations of ultrasound imaging is that image quality and interpretation
depend on the skill of the user and the experience of the clinician. Quantitative ultrasound …

Estimation of the tissue attenuation coefficient based on backscattered data has drawn
interest for over three decades as it could provide important information for tissue …

The attenuation coefficient slope (ACS) has the potential to be used for tissue
characterization and as a diagnostic ultrasound tool, hence complementing B-mode images …

Pulse-echo quantitative ultrasound (PEQUS), which estimates the quantitative properties of
tissue microstructure, entails estimating the average attenuation and the backscatter …

Attenuation is a key diagnostic parameter of tissue pathology change and thus may play a
vital role in the quantitative discrimination of malignant and benign tumors in soft tissue. In …

The ultrasonic attenuation and backscatter coefficients of tissues are relevant acoustic
parameters due to their wide range of clinical applications. In this paper, a linear least …

Constructing an attenuation map based on local attenuation coefficient slope (ACS) in
quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has shown potential in the diagnosis of liver steatosis …

In vivo ultrasound attenuation coefficient measurements are of interest as they can provide
insight into tissue pathology. They are also needed so that measurements of the tissue's …
