title = "Imaging structural properties of soft tissues using ultrasound",
abstract = "The authors are developing methods to estimate and image structural properties of soft tissues. The basis for these methods are measurements of acoustic backscatter coefficients. From the backscatter coefficients, four parameters are estimated and displayed in images. Application of these parametric imaging techniques to phantoms showed that parameter estimations can be accurate and increased low-contrast target detectibility is possible. It is concluded that application of these techniques to parametric imaging of tissues provides images indicative of the spatial variations in tissue type viewed macroscopically, and provides more descriptive information than provided by B-mode imaging.",
