Quantifying the mechanical properties of soft tissues remains a challenging objective in the field of elasticity imaging. In this work, we propose an ultrasound-based method for quantitatively estimating viscoelastic properties, using the amplitude-modulated harmonic motion imaging (HMI) technique. In HMI, an oscillating acoustic radiation force is generated inside the medium by using focused u...

The problem of estimating the dielectric permittivity and the electric conductivity of the soil starting from GPR measurements is addressed. A new estimation procedure is proposed and checked against synthetic data generated by a FDTD forward solver. A two-dimensional geometry and a two-layered background medium are considered.
