Speed-of-sound estimation in ultrasound propagation medium by considering size of target scatterer.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeAccurate speed-of-sound (SoS) estimation in an ultrasound propagation medium improves imaging quality and contributes to better diagnosis of diseases. In conventional time-delay-based SoS estimation approaches studied by several groups, a received wave is assumed to be scattered from an ideal point scatterer. In these approaches, the SoS is overestimated when the target scatterer has a non-negligible size. In this paper, we propose the SoS estimation method that considers target size.
methodsIn the proposed method, the error ratio of the estimated SoS using the conventional time-delay-based approach is determined from measurable parameters using the geometric relationship between the received elements and target. Subsequently, the SoS erroneously estimated using conventional estimation, assuming the ideal point scatterer as a target, is corrected by the determined estimation error ratio. To validate the proposed method, the SoS in water was estimated for several wire sizes.
resultsThe SoS in the water was overestimated using the conventional SoS estimation method, with a maximum positive error of 38 m/s. The proposed method corrected the SoS estimates, and the errors were suppressed to within 6 m/s, irrespective of the wire diameter.
conclusionThe present results demonstrate that the proposed method can estimate the SoS by considering the target size without using information on the true SoS, true target depth, and true target size, which is applicable to in vivo measurements.
