Ultrasonic liver steatosis quantification by a learning-based acoustic model from a novel shear wave sequence

Abstract Background An efficient and accurate approach to quantify the steatosis extent of liver is important for clinical practice. For the purpose, we propose a specific designed ultrasound shear wave sequence to estimate ultrasonic and shear wave physical parameters. The utilization of the estima...
