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 …

The homodyned K (HK) distribution allows a general description of ultrasound backscatter
envelope statistics with specific physical meanings. In this study, we proposed a new …

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and ranks second in
terms of overall cancer deaths. One of the difficulties associated with treating breast cancer …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) analyzes the ultrasound (US) backscattered data to find the
properties of scatterers that correlate with the tissue microstructure. Statistics of the envelope …

This manuscript reports preliminary results obtained by combining estimates of two or three
(among seven) quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters in a model-free, multi-parameter …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims to reveal information about the tissue microstructure
using backscattered echo signals from clinical scanners. Among different QUS parameters …

We aim to develop an ultrasonic tissue characterization method for the follow-up of healing
ulcers by diagnosing collagen fibers properties. In this paper, we demonstrated a computer …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) can reveal crucial information on tissue properties, such as
scatterer density. If the scatterer density per resolution cell is above or below 10, the tissue is …

Since the late 1970s, the speckle interference patterns ubiquitous in pulse-echo ultrasound
images have been used to characterize sub-resolution tissue structure. During this time, new …

Since ancient times, cervical assessment for predicting timing of delivery has relied primarily
on digital (subjective) assessment of dilatation, softening, and length. To date, transvaginal …
