Quantitative ultrasound estimates from populations of scatterers with continuous size distributions : effects of the size estimator algorithm

Quantitative ultrasonic techniques using backscatter coefficients (BSCs) may fail to produce physically meaningful estimates of effective scatterer diameter (ESD) when the analysis media contains scatterers of different sizes. In this work, three different estimator algorithms were used to produce e...
