Ultrasonic molecular imaging of primordial angiogenic vessels in the papilloma virus transgenic mouse with #x03B1;v#x03B2;3-integrin targeted nanoparticles using Renyi entropy-based signal detection

摘要

Previously we reported on an entropy-based signal receiver and demonstrated that, in certain settings, it was more sensitive to subtle changes in scattering architecture than conventional energy-based signal characterization1. In this paper we present results demonstrating further improvements in sensitivity using a signal receiver based on the Renyi-entropy.
