Abstract Scope |
Imaging tissues and the ability to detect micro-scale cellular variations is the next step in detecting early stages of cancer. However, at the present, this capability is not available. High frequency ultra sound method was previously shown to have the ability to detect micro-scale inclusions in tissue phantoms. The analysis has shown increased sensitivity to phantom thickness and the inclusion size. This study is conducted on tissue phantoms with different scatter size to vary the scattering regime from Rayleigh to stochastic regime. It is found that volume ratio of the scatter also impacts the results. With the increase in size and quantity of the scatter, the number of peaks increases representing the abnormality level in the phantom micro structure. Computational modeling of high frequency ultrasound passing through micro-scale tissue phantoms containing scatter confirms the fundamental understanding of the scattering mechanism. |
