METHOD FOR IMPROVED ULTRASONIC DETECTION

摘要

This invention relates to a method of analyzing an ultrasound signal. The method comprises obtaining a time series of sequential data frames associat ed with an ultrasound signal reflected from and/or backscattered from a fixe d location of a material under investigation, each data frame comprising a p lurality of samples of the ultrasound signal, and subjecting to an analysis a sequence of one or more samples of the ultrasound signal, or a sequence of at least one parameter derived from one or more samples of the ultrasound s ignal, wherein a result of the analysis is related to one or properties or c haracteristics of the material. In one embodiment the method may be used for detecting, diagnosing, and/or assessing cancer and/or abnormalities in biol ogical tissue.
