Abstract
An ultrasonic imaging technique for differentiating the distribution of scatterers within a tissue comprises a correcting and an imaging procedure. The correcting procedure includes steps of obtaining ultrasonic backscattered signals from a standard phantom, compensating and demodulating the signals into an envelope image, calculating the parameter m and, selecting a window to calculate parameter min each location of the envelope image and, if≠then increase the size of the window to repeat the steps above, and when=, it is the optimal size of the window. The imaging procedure includes steps of obtaining ultrasonic backscattered signals from a target tissue, compensating and demodulating the signals into an envelope image, calculating min each location to form a mmatrix, and presenting the matrix by utilizing pseudocolors.
