Abstract
Diagnostic ultrasound has been widely used in clinical applications, such as soft tissue abnormality detection and blood flow detection. However, due to the complexity of ultrasonic wave propagation and scattering in biological tissues which generally involves wave reflection, refraction, scattering, absorption and other wave phenomena, it has always been a rather difficult task to interpret the wave mechanics through the received scattering signals.
