    Summary: Due to parallel advances in signal processing and computer hardware in the last 15 years, quantitative ultrasound techniques have reached maturity, allowing for the construction of quantitative maps or images of soft tissues. This book will focus on 5 modern research topics related to quantitative ultrasound of soft tissues: - Spectral-based methods for tissue characterization, tissue typing, cancer detection, etc.; - Envelope statistics analysis as a means of quantifying and imaging tissue properties; - Ultrasound elastography for quantifying elastic properties of tissues (several clinical ultrasound scanners now display elastography images); - Scanning acoustic microscopy for forming images of mechanical properties of soft tissues with micron resolution (desktop size scanners are now available); and - Ultrasound computer tomography for breast cancer imaging (new ultrasound tomography systems have been developed and are currently under evaluation clinically).

    There is no other over-the-counter (OTC) drug having the widespread use of aspirin. Evoking the well-established analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activities with an amazingly low degree of toxicity, its use has increased in this country to the astounding figure of more than 20 tons daily. The observation that comparatively small daily doses of aspirin may serve as a means of preventing certain types of cardiovascular disasters may lead to even more widespread use of the drug. The most frequent untoward side effect of aspirin is gastric discomfort with or without microbleeding. The amount of bleeding is usually quite small but owing to the long interest of the author in buffered aspirin, it is prudent to determine whether or not this action of aspirin is serious.
