    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Acoustics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Tissue characterization is crucial for medical diagnosis and research.
    • Ultrasonic analysis provides a non-invasive method for probing biological tissues.
    • Understanding tissue structure impacts various fields, from medicine to agriculture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present two novel techniques for tissue characterization using ultrasonic analysis.
    • To demonstrate the estimation of surface roughness and spatial periodicity in tissues.
    • To explore the application of Fourier transforms and spectral analysis for tissue property determination.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of angular variation of ultrasonic intensity back-scattered using narrow-band pulses.
    • Calculation of Fourier transform and autocorrelation function of intensity variation to estimate surface roughness and periodicity.
    • Insonification of samples with broadband pulses at a fixed angle.
    • Directly obtaining mean periodicity from the frequency spectrum of echoes for regular structures.

    Main Results:

    • The first technique successfully estimates surface roughness and average spatial periodicity (d) from angular intensity variations.
    • The second technique provides a direct estimation of mean periodicity from the frequency spectrum of echoes.
    • Both methods offer quantitative insights into tissue structural properties.
