Ultrasound Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis by Using the Double Nakagami Distribution: A Feasibility Study
Ultrasound imaging is a first-line assessment tool for hepatic steatosis. Properties of tissue microstructures correlate with the statistical distribution of ultrasound backscattered signals, which can be described by the Nakagami distribution (a widely adopted approximation of backscattered statist...
