Quantitative Ultrasound in Soft Tissues, 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

• 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 forming images of mechanical properties of soft tissues with micron resolution.
• Phantoms for quantitative ultrasound.
