In ultrasound imaging, various statistical distributions have been proposed to model the first-
order statistics of the amplitude of the echo envelope. We present an overview of these …

Since the late 1970s, the speckle interference patterns ubiquitous in pulse-echo ultrasound
images have been used to characterize subresolution tissue structures. During this time …

Constructing ultrasound statistical parametric images by using a sliding window is a widely
adopted strategy for characterizing tissues. Deficiency in spatial resolution, the appearance …

Nowadays, there is a lot of environmental pollution due to the wastes generated by the
industries. In particular, the waste generated by leather industries produces more …

Ultrasound Nakagami imaging has recently attracted interest as an imaging technique for
analyzing envelope statistics. Because the presence of structures has a strong effect on …

Ultrasound backscattering signals depend on the microstructures of tissues. Some studies
have applied Shannon entropy to analyze the uncertainty of raw radiofrequency (RF) data …

Ultrasound Nakagami parametric imaging is a useful tool for tissue characterization.
Previous literature has suggested using a square with side lengths corresponding to 3 times …

The homodyned K-distribution and the K-distribution, viewed as a special case, as well as
the Rayleigh and the Rice distributions, viewed as limit cases, are discussed in the context …

Starting from the widely accepted point-scattering model, this paper establishes, through
analytical developments, that ultrasound signals backscattered from skin tissues converge to …

In this paper, we introduce the Inverse Gaussian (IG) fading distribution to model the
envelope and the power of the received signal in radio propagation fading channels and …
