Conventional ultrasound images verify features detected in LUS images. a Single LUS time trace on a porcine tissue sample, with multiple boundary echoes labeled. The initial surface wave echo was attenuated to improve the contrast of the other echoes. b Porcine tissue sample used for LUS imaging. The image region is outlined in red. c Reconstructed LUS image of the porcine tissue sample, showing multiple reflecting tissue layers. d Matching conventional ultrasound image of the porcine tissue, validating features seen in c.
