Integrated backscatter (IB) and its cyclic variation (CV) derived from radio-frequency (RF) data have been used as parameters to attempt myocardial tissue characterization. Prior imaging systems used to measure IB and its CV typically acquired data at frame rates of 20-30 Hz and at a resolution of 6-8 bits. If changes in IB levels are in part related to specific short-lived events, occurring within the cardiac cycle, this frame rate and resolution could have been too low to resolve adequately what might be a more complex data set.
