A set of test samples, all containing ultrasonically equivalent tissue-mimicking material, was produced and measurements of ultrasonic speed and ultrasonic attenuation coefficients were made at seven laboratories using various techniques. The ultrasonic speed values agree well with one another, having a spread of about 0.3 per cent; thus, speed values for tissue parenchyma appearing in the literature are likely to be accurate. Values of ultrasonic attenuation coefficients agree fairly well with one another, with differences between individual values and the group mean of generally less than 20 per cent of the group mean.

D014465 Ultrasonics A subfield of acoustics dealing in the radio frequency range higher than acoustic SOUND waves (approximately above 20 kilohertz). Ultrasonic radiation is used therapeutically (DIATHERMY and ULTRASONIC THERAPY) to generate HEAT and to selectively destroy tissues. It is also used in diagnostics, for example, ULTRASONOGRAPHY; ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPHY; and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, to visually display echoes received from irradiated tissues. Ultrasonic
D014481 United States A country in NORTH AMERICA between CANADA and MEXICO.
