Abstract

The K distribution is an accurate model for ultrasonic backscatter. A neural approach is developed to estimate K distribution parameters. Accuracy and consistency of the estimates from simulated K and envelope data compare favorably with other techniques. Neural networks can potentially be used as a complementary technique for tissue characterization.
