Abstract
For quantitative ultrasound imaging with a medical diagnostic ultrasound scanner, muscle tissue is scanned in order to determine the state of contraction. Once the desired state is identified, then QUS imaging is triggered to quantify or measure a tissue property while the muscle is in the desired state. The values of the tissue property at a known state of contraction may be more diagnostically useful or informative. Comparisons of the tissue property across time and/or location may more accurately reflect diagnostic information due to the triggering.
