The H-scan format for classification of ultrasound scattering

Traditional B-Scan images show the envelope of received echoes as a grey scale image. The echoes are produced from specular reflections and scattering sites where changes in acoustic impedance occur (Cobbold, Foundations of Biomedical Ultrasound, Oxford Press, 2007). A long-standing area of interest concerns the frequency dependence of scatterers within different tissues, organs, and the blood.
