Ultrasound Entropy Imaging Based on the Kernel Density Estimation: A New Approach to Hepatic Steatosis Characterization

In this paper, we present the kernel density estimation (KDE)-based parallelized ultrasound entropy imaging and apply it for hepatic steatosis characterization. A KDE technique was used to estimate the probability density function (PDF) of ultrasound backscattered signals. The estimated PDF was util...
