Quantitative Ultrasound in Soft Tissues

定量超聲波（QUS）作為一個研究領域持續成熟，並準備迅速轉向常規的前臨床和臨床應用。本書將有兩個主要目的：

1. 提供QUS的進階教育，全面而徹底地回顧QUS的所有理論、物理和工程方面。
2. 由該研究領域的主要貢獻者回顧QUS的最新發展。

本書第二版將專注於六個與軟組織定量超聲波相關的現代研究主題：

1. 基於頻譜的方法進行組織特徵化、組織分類、癌症檢測等。
2. 組織特徵化的衰減估計及改善基於頻譜的方法。
3. 包絡統計分析作為量化和成像組織特性的手段。
4. 用於前臨床和臨床成像的超聲計算機斷層掃描。
5. 掃描聲學顯微鏡以微米解析度形成軟組織機械特性的影像。
6. 用於定量超聲波的模擬體。
