Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) based parameters like the effective scatterer diameter (ESD) and mean scatterer spacing (MSS) are gaining attention recently as non-invasive biomarkers for soft tissue characterization. In this work, we propose…

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims to find properties of scatterers which are related to the tissue microstructure. Among different QUS parameters, scatterer number density has been found to be a reliable biomarker for detecting different…

Simulation-based ultrasound training can be an essential educational tool. Realistic ultrasound image appearance with typical speckle texture can be modeled as convolution of a point spread function with point scatterers representing tissue…

In an ultrasonic array system, increasing the aperture size to achieve a high resolution requires more transmit and receive channels, thus making it essential to have an analysis technique that can reconstruct the shape and physical…

Traditional ultrasound simulation methods solve wave equations numerically, achieving high accuracy but at substantial computational cost. Faster alternatives based on convolution with precomputed impulse responses remain relatively slow,…

Waves scattered by a weakly inhomogeneous random medium contain a predominant single scattering contribution as well as a multiple scattering contribution which is usually neglected, especially for imaging purposes. A method based on random…

An efficient and accurate image reconstruction algorithm for ultrasound tomography (UST) is described and demonstrated, which can recover accurate sound speed distribution from acoustic time series measurements made in soft tissue. The…

The analysis of the ultrasonic frequency-dependent backscatter coefficient of aggregating red blood cells reveals information about blood structural properties. The difficulty to apply this technique in vivo is due to the…

We propose a new modeling approach for scatter estimation and descattering in polyenergetic X-ray computed tomography (CT) based on fitting models to local neighborhoods of a training set. X-ray CT is widely used in medical and industrial…

Pulse-echo Quantitative ultrasound (PEQUS), which estimates the quantitative properties of tissue microstructure, entails estimating the average attenuation and the backscatter coefficient (BSC). Growing recent research has focused on the…

In the context of providing a mathematical framework for the propagation of ultrasound waves in a random multiscale medium, we consider the scattering of classical waves (modeled by a divergence form scalar Helmholtz equation) by a bounded…

In many radar scenarios, the radar target or the medium is assumed to possess randomly varying parts. The properties of a target are described by a random process known as the spreading function. Its second order statistics under the WSSUS…

The H-scan approach is a matched filter methodology that aims to add information to the traditional ultrasound B-scan. The theory is based on the differences in the echoes produced by different classes of reflectors or scatterers. Matched…

Optoacoustic image formation is conventionally based upon ultrasound time-of-flight readings from multiple detection positions. Herein, we exploit acoustic scattering to physically encode the position of optical absorbers in the acquired…

We are concerned with the linearized, isotropic and homogeneous elastic scattering problem by (possibly many) small rigid obstacles of arbitrary Lipschitz regular shapes in 3D. Based on the Foldy-Lax approximation, valid under a sufficient…

Small-angle scattering (SAS) is a key experimental technique for analyzing nano-scale structures in various materials.In SAS data analysis, selecting an appropriate mathematical model for the scattering intensity is critical, as it…

Sound scattering by a finite width beam on a single rigid body rotation vortex flow is detected by a linear array of transducers (both smaller than a flow cell), and analyzed using a revised scattering theory. Both the phase and amplitude…

Established image recovery methods in fast ultrasound imaging, e.g. delay-and-sum, trade the image quality for the high frame rate. Cutting-edge inverse scattering methods based on compressed sensing (CS) disrupt this tradeoff via a priori…
