Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) continues to mature as a research field and is primed to make a swift transition to routine preclinical and clinical applications. This book will serve two main purposes:

  • Advanced education in QUS by providing a complete and thorough review of all theoretical, physical, and engineering aspects of QUS.
  • Review of recent development of QUS by lead contributors in the research field.
  • This 2nd edition will focus on 6 modern research topics related to quantitative ultrasound of soft tissues:

  • Spectral-based methods for tissue characterization, tissue typing, cancer detection, etc.
  • Attenuation estimation for tissue characterization and improving spectral based methods
  • Envelope statistics analysis as a means of quantifying and imaging tissue properties.
  • Ultrasound computed tomography for preclinical and clinical imaging.
  • Scanning acoustic microscopy for formingimages of mechanical properties of soft tissues with micron resolution.
  • Phantoms for quantitative ultrasound.
