Fatty liver disease has a high and increasing prevalence worldwide, is associated with
adverse cardiovascular events and higher long-term medical costs, and may lead to liver …

In the field of clinical ultrasound, the full digitalization of diagnostic equipment in the 2000s
enabled the technological development of quantitative ultrasound (QUS), followed by …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) analyzes the ultrasound (US) backscattered data to find the
properties of scatterers that correlate with the tissue microstructure. Statistics of the envelope …

Introduction Paediatric NAFLD is an increasing global health concern, which can be
effectively managed with early detection. Screening, using accurate, affordable, and …

Objective: Hepatic steatosis causes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and may progress to
fibrosis. Ultrasound is the first-line approach to examining hepatic steatosis. Fatty droplets in …

Objective Nakagami imaging is an appealing monitoring and evaluation technique for high-
intensity focused ultrasound treatment when bubbles are present in ultrasound images. This …

In previous studies, the double-Nakagami (DN) model has been proposed for fatty liver
assessment and applied to in vivo rat livers and clinical data sets. The healthy liver structure …

We compared the evaluation accuracy of amplitude envelope statistics under the
transmission and reception conditions of compounded plane wave imaging (CPWI) and …

The double–Nakagami (DN) model provides a method for analyzing the amplitude envelope
statistics of quantitative ultrasound (QUS). In this study, the relationship between the sound …
