“…With a frequency range of 2.3 to 4.8 mHz, Freese and Hamid (1974) found a correlation of backscatter to lipid content of whole fish. In the absence of gas bubbles and other large coherent scatterers, the measure ments revealed a strong dependence of the backscatter on the total lipid content.…”

“…The pulse echo technique and the calibration procedure employed for the backscatter measurements have been described in detail (10 Scattering by the larger blood vessels in the liver poses a problem because its contribution tends t o be largely extraneous to the scattering process of interest. To reduce this interference the raw data were refined by rejecting individual measurements with values of I ?…”

Ultrasonic volume backscatter by postmortem human liver was investigated in the 1 to 5 MHz frequency range. Representative values of the backscatter coefficient, its range, and frequency dependence were determined. The backscatter level correlated significantly with protein content in normal livers and with lipid content in abnormal fatty livers. The latter suggests the possible development of a simple, noninvasive, quantitative test for fatty infiltration of the liver.
