H-scan ultrasound imaging uses a simple mathematical framework to find a qualitative comparison between spectral elements of the backscattered ultrasound data induced by spatial differences in scatterer size. This research demonstrates the potential of H-scan ultrasound and image-derived textural features for the early prediction of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
