At the Sendai Symposium on Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization, methods covered were image processing, scattering, elastography, spectroscopy and microscopy from the perspective of engineering developments, limitations and clinical applications. Many tissue types were examined, including the liver, myocardium, integumentum and vascular structures. The discussions following each presentation are also reproduced in this volume.
