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 …

Although a variety of techniques have been developed to reduce the appearance of B-mode

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 …

Coherent plane-wave compound imaging (CPWCI) is used as alternative for conventional
focused imaging (CFI) to increase frame rates linearly with the ratio number of imaging lines …

Standardized phantoms and test methods are needed to accelerate clinical translation of
emerging photoacoustic imaging (PAI) devices. Evaluating object detectability in PAI is …
