Excerpt

Great results are being achieved with diagnosis using ultrasound-based medical imaging, and the image quality of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment continues to improve year after year. New quantitative techniques using shear waves are also becoming available in addition to conventional interpretation of images. There are attempts being made in various regions aimed at acquiring quantitative diagnostic information by utilizing changes in acoustic properties [1, 2], and it is hoped that these efforts will lead to further advances. …
