  • Developing a stochastic model for harmonic signals of microbubbles attenuated by tissue.
  • Deriving an estimator for the attenuation coefficient (α) based on the model.
  • Conducting experiments with a simplified phantom to evaluate the estimator's performance.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method using microbubbles provides consistent estimation of α.
    • Both first and second harmonic signals can be used to estimate α.
    • The second harmonic shows potential for more robust α estimation compared to the first harmonic due to reduced interference.

    Conclusions:

    • Microbubble-based temporal sampling offers a promising alternative for accurate soft tissue attenuation coefficient (α) estimation.
    • The developed estimator is consistent, with potential biases noted for non-ideal bubble oscillations.
    • Further research into mitigating interference from tissue backscattering is recommended for first harmonic-based estimation.
