Interest in quantitative ultrasound scattering measurements in biological tissues stems from
the belief that only a fraction of the total information available in the echo signal is visible in …

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

Two ultrasonic scattering models for human tissue are suggested, one in which the
homogeneities are discrete and the other an inhomogeneous continuum. After discussing …

The properties that in practice are used for providing information about the structure of
biological tissues, and which contribute to the physically complicated process of formation of …

When ultrasonic fields interact with tissue, the characteristics of the field will be affected in a
manner which is dependent upon the acoustic properties of the tissue. An expanding set of …

The physical properties of ultrasound, particularly its highly directional beam behaviour, and
its complex interactions with human tissues, have led to its becoming a vitally important tool …

The dearth of information on the physical processes involved in the propagation of
ultrasound in tissue and the growing need for such information are discussed. The physical …

In this paper, a closed‐form expression is derived for the absorption of ultrasound by
biological tissues. In this expression, the viscothermal and viscoelastic theories of relaxation …

The propagation of ultrasound pulses in inhomogeneous media is described, and it is
shown that they are scattered by fluctuations in density and compressibility. It is proposed …
