Ultrasound Detection of Scatterer Concentration by
Ultrasound backscattering signals depend on the microstructures of tissues. Some studies have applied Shannon entropy to analyze the uncertainty of raw radiofrequency (RF) data. However, we found that the sensitivity of entropy in detecting various scatterer concentrations is limited; thus, we propose a weighted entropy as a new information entropy-based approach to enhance the performance of s...
متن کاملUltrasonic backscatter coefficient quantitative estimates from high-concentration Chinese Hamster Ovary cell pellet biophantoms.
Previous work estimated the ultrasonic backscatter coefficient (BSC) from low-concentration (volume density <3%) Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO, 6.7-μm cell radius) cell pellets. This study extends the work to higher cell concentrations (volume densities: 9.6% to 63%). At low concentration, BSC magnitude is proportional to the cell concentration and BSC frequency dependency is independent of cell c...
متن کاملThe concentration function problem for $G$-spaces
In this note, we consider the concentration function problem for a continuous action of a locally compact group $G$ on a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the concentration functions of a spread-out irreducible probability measure $mu$ on $G$ to converge to zero.
متن کاملUltrasonic Characterization of Cell Pellet Biophantoms and Tumors Using Quantitative Ultrasound Models By
ii ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ultrasonic scattering from tumors. Tumors are complex acoustic scattering media and to date there has not been an adequate acoustic scattering model that fits them well. The tumor scattering mechanisms are studied herein by a step-wise approach: starting from simple (low-concentration cell pellet biophantoms) to moderately complex (high-concentrati...
متن کاملStructure and thermodynamic properties of a polydisperse fluid in contact with a polydisperse matrix
We present expressions that allow the determination of the structural and thermodynamic properties of a polydisperse liquid mixture in contact with a polydisperse matrix; polydispersity of the fluid and of the matrix are described by distribution functions ff ( ) and fm ( ), where and characterize the size of the fluid and of the matrix particles. The formalism is based on the replica trick (to...
