Abstract
This monograph presents a tutorial review of the current state-of-the-art in ultrasonic attenuation estimation in reflection. Clinical indications which provide the motivation for attempting in vivo attenuation estimation are discussed. Frequency and time domain techniques and their respective tradeoffs and problems are presented. Finally, current clinical results obtained with the various techniques are summarized and further areas of study are suggested.Keywords
