Percutaneous thermal therapy is an important clinical treatment method for some solid
tumors. It is critical to use effective image visualization techniques to monitor the therapy …

Hepatic steatosis is a key manifestation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Early
detection of hepatic steatosis is of critical importance. Currently, liver biopsy is the clinical …

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 …

Background The homodyned-K (HK) distribution is an important statistical model for
describing ultrasound backscatter envelope statistics. HK parametric imaging has shown …

Ultrasound is the first-line tool for screening hepatic steatosis. Statistical distributions can be
used to model the backscattered signals for liver characterization. The Nakagami distribution …

ABSTRACT Objective The homodyned K (HK) distribution is considered to be the most
suitable distribution in the context of tissue characterization; therefore, the search for a rapid …

It is demanded to monitor temperature in tissue during oncological hyperthermia therapy. In
the present study, we non-invasively measured the temperature elevation inside the …

The homodyned K distribution (HK) can generally describe the ultrasound backscatter
envelope statistics distribution with parameters that have specific physical meaning …

Objective The purpose of this study is to accurately monitor temperature during microwave
hyperthermia. We propose a temperature estimation model BP‐Nakagami based on neural …

Temperature monitoring in ultrasound (US) imaging is important for various medical
treatments, such as high-intensity focused US (HIFU) therapy or hyperthermia. In this work …
