Backscatter Coefficient

The Backscatter Coefficient is a dimensionless acoustic parameter that quantifies the intensity of ultrasound waves scattered backward by tissue structures toward the source, normalized by the incident beam intensity and observation solid angle, distinguishing it from forward-scattering measures in tissue characterization.
