Frequency dependence of the tissue backscatters provides useful information about the tissue structure. Further, it has been found that structure of tissue changes due to different diseases and these alterations cause observable changes in acoustic scattering properties. Several parameters have been developed to identify these alterations and tissue identification. This study has introduced a new tissue characterization parameter, which is Full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the fitted Gaussian curve of the Fast furrier transformed back scattered signal and it has been used to identify two different tissue samples; bovine liver and chicken liver. The experiment was carried out for nine bovines and nine chicken livers and FWHM of the chicken liver 3.72±0.16 was greater than that of bovine liver 3.28±0.16 (p=2.91E-05). Hence, it can be concluded that the bovine liver and the chicken liver can be differentiate using the FWHM parameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
