Effects of Fatty Infiltration of the Liver on the Shannon Entropy of Ultrasound Backscattered Signals

This study explored the effects of fatty infiltration on the signal uncertainty of ultrasound backscattered echoes from the liver. Standard ultrasound examinations were performed on 107 volunteers. For each participant, raw ultrasound image data of the right lobe of liver were acquired using a clini...
