ABSTRACT:
Time gain control of a variable gain amplifier in an ultrasonic scanning system is defined from ultrasonic attenuation of tissue under examination. An ultrasonic signal is directed into the tissue and a reflected signal is detected. The frequency of the reflected signal is measured, and frequency dependent scatter perturbations are identified and eliminated from the measured frequency. Tissue attenuation is then established from the measured frequency after perturbations are eliminated.
