Imaging has become an essential tool in modern radiotherapy (RT), being used to plan dose
delivery prior to treatment and verify target position before and during treatment. Ultrasound …

Recent progress has been made in diagnosing and tracing the natural history of intracardiac
thrombi by echocardiography. Left ventricular thrombi occur and cause emboli in three …

Ultrasonic Scattering in Biological Tissues contains 14 chapters written by world-renowned
authorities who describe current work related to theoretical and experimental aspects of …

Ultrasonic speed, attenuation and backscattering were measured as functions of frequency
and orientation in specimens of exercised human liver, with a view to establishing the …

This paper describes the image formation in medical ultrasound for the case of scattering
media. The texture statistics are dominated by speckle formation. The effects of spatial, fixed …

The mathematical basis for transmission computed tomographic imaging using straight-line
reconstruction equations is discussed. Both narrow-band and broad-band solutions are …

The acoustic attenuation coefficient of soft biological tissue has been observed to have an
increasing linear-with-frequency attenuation characteristic with a slope, denoted by β, that …

This monograph presents a tutorial review of the current state-of-the-art in ultrasonic
attenuation estimation in reflection. Clinical indications which provide the motivation for …

The frequency dependence of the attenuation has been investigated in normal and fatty liver
samples in vitro. It was observed that normal liver samples exhibited essentially a linear …

This paper reviews the state of the art in computer-aided diagnosis of prostate cancer and
focuses, in particular, on ultrasound-based techniques for detection of cancer in prostate …
