From: Small-window parametric imaging based on information entropy for ultrasound tissue characterization

(a–d) B-mode images of Type-B agar phantoms to which 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.3 g of glass beads were added (SL = 1; frequency = 6 MHz; scanned at a focus of 1 cm). The dimensions for all images are the same. The grayscale and color bars represent the pixel values (the brightness) of the B-mode and entropy images, respectively. (e–h) Entropy images corresponding to (a–d). (i) Entropy as a function of the weight of glass beads. Data were expressed by mean ± standard deviation.
