Strain-compounding technique with ultrasound Nakagami imaging for distinguishing between benign and malignant breast tumors

Purpose : The scatterer properties of breast tissues are related to the presence of collagen structures, while the elasticity properties of breast tissues depend on their structural organization; these two characteristics are functionally complementary in ultrasound-based tissue characterizations. T...
