Abstract
The accuracy of a method of data reduction for determining acoustic backscatter coefficients was tested using focused transducers and narrow-band pulses. Two phantoms with well-defined scattering properties were the bases of the tests, one having low attenuation and one with tissue-mimicking attenuation. The experimentally determined backscatter coefficients were found to be independent of transducer-to-scattering-volume distance and to agree very well with theoretical values, typically within 10%.Mesh:
