Artifactual echoes in B-mode images due to multiple scattering
Abstract
In B-mode images, echoes, which appear to arise from inherently anechoic regions due to scattering from neighbouring echogenic regions, can be considered artifactual. We have observed multiple scatter contributions to such artifactual echoes in images of plane boundaries between random scattering phantoms and anechoic regions. For the strongest scattering phantom studied, multiple scatter echoes were 3-9% of the average phantom signal using two …
