… independent estimates of attenuation and absorption for an agar-gelatin phantom, calf liver,
pig liver, bovine brain, and bovine leg muscle tissue. The results show that absorption is the …

… With the removal of artifacts that cause higher attenuation and lower absorption, one would
expect some convergence of attenuation and absorption coefficients of soft tissues where …

… uation, absorption, and scattering and their magnitudes in soft tissue are of great relevance
to imaging, hyperthermia, and tissue characterization. The ultrasonic absorption coefficient of …

… property which represents the rate at which energy in tissue is converted to heat. The
absorption coefficient exhibited by soft tissue varies widely from tissue to tissue (Goss et al., 1979) …

… Our results suggest that energy absorption by soft tissue plays an important role in reducing
the force applied to the femur during impact from a fall. Therefore, as several investigators …

… the amount of light absorbed by the tissues. Actual … of light absorbed by the tissue are
subjects of future studies. However, the relative amounts of light attenuated by the various tissues …

… after removal of various soft tissue constituents of the lower … Soft tissue and bone attenuated
peak forces most effectively … of the bone and soft tissue in peak dynamic force attenuation. …

… Absorption of ultrasound is the process of conversion of vibrational energy into heat. In
biological soft tissues, the absorption … The velocities in soft tissues are similar, being about 1,500 …

… , most of the techniques which have been used to measure attenuation and absorption,
when applied to soft tissue such as bovine liver, given substantially the same magnitudes. …

In this paper we show that one can measure integrated attenuation for a soft-tissue structure
simply by measuring the center frequencies of the incident and transmitted pulses. Except …
