Improved scatterer size estimation using backscatter coefficient measurements with coded excitation and pulse compression.
Scatterer size estimates from ultrasonic backscatter coefficient measurements have been used to differentiate diseased tissue from normal. A low echo signal-to-noise ratio (eSNR) leads to increased bias and variance in scatterer size estimates. One way to improve the eSNR is to use coded excitation (CE). The normalized backscatter coefficient was measured from three tissue-mimicking phantoms by...
متن کاملProbabilistic Backscatter Coefficient
A probabilistic backscatter coefficient generating function (CGF) is introduced which produces realistic backscatter coefficient values for various terrain types over all incidence angles. The CGF was developed in direct support of a multilayer 3-D clutter modeling effort which successfully incorporated probabilistic clutter reflectivity characteristics and measured terrain elevation data to en...

Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Thesis directed by Professor Edward Kuester The primary focus of this thesis is to evaluate the use of the enhanced backscatter coefficient as a quantity for characterizing the spatial ...
متن کاملTissue attenuation coefficient estimation using bubble harmonics with frequency diversity
In a previous work, we developed a consistent TAC (tissue attenuation coefficient) estimator using bubble echoes. Based on temporal averaging, we can improve the estimation precision of TAC for the tissue bounded between two vessels. In this paper, we extend it to use frequency diversity for saving interrogation time by transmit multiple narrowband signals in each pulse. At first, we analyze th...
متن کاملDC coefficient restoration using MAP estimation technique
DC coefficient restoration scheme is a technique which can be used to increase the compression ability of transform image coding by not transmitting the DC coefficients but estimating them from the transmitted AC component. In the last decade, the minimum edge difference criterion is used in the scheme. However the criterion fails at the locations where the discontinuities are along the block b...
