Delving into the intricacies of angle-dependent backscatter analysis using ultrasound (US), our research highlights the critical importance of this approach in accurately characterizing urethral tissue. By harnessing the power of advanced multi-feature US imaging, we offer a comprehensive understanding of the nuances in urethral tissue composition, which significantly reduces observer-induced variability. Our findings suggest that the slopes derived from US images hold great potential as biomarkers that could redefine our understanding of urethral function. We invite researchers to join us in this scientific discourse as we delve deeper into these findings, bridging the gap between clinical practice and cutting-edge research. Our approach promises to advance the field of tissue analysis and is essential for those who are eager to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements.
