Abstract
This paper examines the detection of regular scatterer spacings from b ackscattered ultrasound using the autoregressive (AR) cepstrum. Monte Carlo simulations present a relationship between the probability of de tection and the AR model order. An example using liver tissue data sup ports the observations made in the simulation.
