Abstract

Ultrasonic tissue characterization employing an analysis of the power spectrum of backscattered signals provides inferences about the physical properties of blood-clot components in vitro. This methodology was able to distinguish between loose fibrin, red-cell fibrin, and dense fibrin clots. The in vitro work suggests that ultrasonic tissue characterization may be useful in distinguishing red from white thrombi, in estimating their age, in evaluating their mechanical properties, and in monitoring treatment.
