title = "Assessment of myocardial viability with analysis of ultrasonic integrated backscatter",
abstract = "The authors summarize the current state of ultrasonic tissue characterization of myocardium via the measurement of quantitative integrated backscatter interfaced with real-time imaging. The role of tissue characterization is to provide a quantitative assessment of myocardial acoustic properties indicative of the tissue structure and function (collagen accumulation, water content, ischemia, reperfusion, etc.) to complement the already accurate information available from conventional imaging. Several groups of investigators are engaged in clinical investigations of the application of this technique, and important experimental studies in the basic science laboratories continue to further the understanding of interaction between ultrasonic signals and its morphologic/pathophysiologic determinants in myocardium.",
