The method decomposes the radio frequency signal into sub-bands by
filtering, for example with a time-frequency transform. From the
coefficients acquired through decomposition a matrix of spectral
coefficients is obtained, from which local estimators are obtained,
constituted in particular by the coefficients of the interpolating
polynomials. The statistical distribution of the local estimators is
evaluated in windows overlaid on the ultrasound frame. The conformation
of the distribution histograms of the spectral coefficients provides a
parameter which, combined with the local estimators, provides weighted
local estimators, which contain spectral information useful in the
identification of specific structures in the organ subjected to
ultrasound analysis.
