Excised mouse liver in phosphate-buffered saline. (a) Single unfiltered and unaveraged B-mode frame with the ROI shaded green. (b) The ROI’s normalized spatial integration profiles demonstrating that the maximum percent change $\mathrm{\Delta }$ does not exceed 50%. (c) MLE fit to the Burr type XII distribution in a linear scale with linear binning of amplitude histogram data. (d) Same as (c) but in a log-log scale with logarithmic binning for visualization of tail behavior. (e) MLE fit to the Lomax distribution in a linear scale with linear binning of intensity histogram data. (f) Same as (d) but in a log-log scale with logarithmic binning to visualize tail behavior. (g) MLE fit to the generalized logistic distribution in a linear scale with linear binning of log amplitude histogram data. (h) Same as (g) but in log-log scale with logarithmic binning. All MLE fits result in an exponent parameter of $\hat{b}=5.95$ (95% Confidence Interval: $[5.70,6.21]$) for mouse liver.
