Abstract
Techniques for quantitative tissue characterization have been extensively developed for decades in the ultrasound community. Recently, the success of quantitative elastographic methods to stage liver fibrosis has become an example of how ultrasonic tissue characterization has the potential to revolutionize clinical practice. Therefore, numerous techniques, such as acoustic tomography, backscatter coefficient estimation, attenuation coefficient estimation, quantitative elastography, functional ultrasound based on Doppler measurements, and photoacoustics, are being explored for the estimation of intrinsic, system-independent tissue properties.
