Multiparametric QUS Analysis for Placental Tissue Characterization.
EMBC(2018)
摘要
Multiparametric Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) holds promise for characterizing placental tissue and detecting placental disorders. In this study, we simultaneously extract two qualitatively different QUS parameters, namely attenuation coefficient estimate (ACE) and shear wave speed from ultrasound radio frequency data acquired using a shear wave vibro elastography (SWAVE) method. The study comprised data from 59 post-delivery clinically normal placentas. The shear wave speed was found to be equal to 1.74 ± 0.13 m/s whereas the attenuation coefficient estimate was 0.57 ± 0.48 dB/cm-MHz. This provides a baseline for future studies of placental disorders.
