Abstract
A method and system for assessing a spatial regularity of reflecting members in a tissue. The method comprises irradiating the tissue and detecting waves reflected by the tissue. One or more parameters are then calculated, based upon the reflected waves, indicative of a degree of spatial disorder of reflecting members in the tissue.
Claims16
A method for assessing spatial disorder of reflecting members in a tissue, comprising the steps of:
- (a) irradiating the tissue;
- (b) detecting waves reflected or transmitted by the tissue;
- (c) calculating in a space domain one or more parameters indicative of a degree of spatial disorder of reflecting members in the tissue based upon the reflected or transmitted waves wherein the one or more parameters are obtained in a calculation based upon complex raw data obtained from the detected reflected waves;
- and
- (d) comparing the one or more parameters to a predetermined threshold to determine the spatial disorder.

- (a) a wave source configured to irradiate the tissue;
- (b) a wave detector configured to detect waves reflected by the tissue;
- and
- (c) a processor configured to calculate a parameter indicative of a degree of spatial disorder of reflecting members in the tissue based upon the reflected waves;
- wherein the parameter is obtained in a calculation based upon complex raw data obtained from the detected reflected waves.
