Tissue mimicking materials (TMMs), typically contained within phantoms, have been used
for many decades in both imaging and therapeutic applications. This review investigates the …

Conventional medical imaging technologies, including ultrasound, have continued to
improve over the years. For example, in oncology, medical imaging is characterized by high …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims at quantifying interactions between ultrasound and
biological tissues. QUS techniques extract fundamental physical properties of tissues based …

In the 1970s, Holasek, Gans, Purnell, and Sokollu expressed the notion that the frequency

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is believed to affect one-third of American adults.
Noninvasive methods that enable detection and monitoring of NAFLD have the potential for …

Ultrasound is now a clinically accepted modality in the management of osteoporosis. The
most common commercial clinical devices assess fracture risk from measurements of …

Currently, biopsies guided by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) are the only method for
definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. Studies by our group suggest that quantitative …

Tissue-mimicking phantoms that are currently available for routine biomedical applications
may not be suitable for high-temperature experiments or calibration of thermal modalities …

The attenuation coefficient slope (ACS) has the potential to be used for tissue
