A Generalized Gamma Mixture Model for Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization
Figure 9
Simulation of spatial variant echolucent response of tissue. (a) Sampling of an increasing echolucent tissue. (b) Resulting B-mode image obtained by corrupting the samples by a random walk process of scatterers per resolution cell, in order to simulate a fully formed speckle in regions with low echolucent response and fully resolved speckle in regions with high echolucent response. (c) Histogram of (b) and (a) GG and GGMM with components.
