Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters such as the effective scatterer diameter (ESD) reveal tissue properties by analyzing ultrasound backscattered echo signal. ESD can be attained through ...

Considering all the aforesaid reasons, the purpose of this review is to provide a wide overview of the most important scientific publications on optic nerve ultrasound normal values assessment ...

In ultrasound tissue characterization dealing with cellular aggregates (such as tumors), it can be hypothesized that cell microstructure and spatial distribution dominate the backscatter signal.

Background On echocardiography approximately one-third of patients with severe aortic valve stenosis based on aortic valve area (AVA<1.0 cm2) demonstrate a non-severe mean pressure gradient (ΔPm; ≤40 ...

Carotid artery stenosis is an important cause of stroke and transient ischemic attack. Correctly and rapidly identifying patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis is essential for adequate ...
