Abstract
For tissue property (e.g., fat fraction) estimation, ultrasound is used to measure non-linearity response of tissue (e.g., liver tissue). The fat fraction is estimated from the measured non-linearity response. The estimated fat fraction may be more accurate due to estimation from the measured tissue non-linearity response. By combining with other ultrasound-based measurements, such as scatter, attenuation, and/or speed of sound, the ultrasound-based estimation of fat fraction may be even more accurate. Other tissue properties may be estimated from the tissue non-linearity response alone or in combination with other measurements.
