This study was designed to measure the ultrasonic attenuation within phantoms and tissue
samples over a broad bandwidth and at many angles of incidence with respect to intrinsic …

Ultrasonic loss mechanisms which arise from the microscopically inhomogeneous nature of
soft tissue are investigated over the frequency range 1 to 10 MHz. Contributions to the …

The anisotropy of frequency-dependent backscatter coefficient, attenuation, and speed of
sound is assessed in fresh rat skeletal muscle within 5 h post-mortem. Excised rat …

Clinical implementation of quantitative ultrasonic tissue characterization is likely to require
imaging the heart with sound propagating at varying angles relative to the fibers of the heart …

This research addresses the variations in the ultrasonic backscatter from specimens
consisting of a suspension of approximately aligned cylindrical scatterers in a fluid medium …

The widespread use of echocardiography has generated considerable interest in the
ultrasonic properties of myocardial collagen. This study was designed to investigate the …

The content and organization of collagen in the cardiac interstitium may represent significant
determinants of the ultrasonic scattering properties of myocardium. This study was designed …

In a study involving 10 different sites, independent results of measurements of ultrasonic
properties on equivalent tissue‐mimicking samples are reported and compared. The …

This study investigates the influence of the fiber‐reinforced nature of myocardium and
tendon on the propagation of transverse mode ultrasonic waves. Formalin fixed specimens …

Ultrasonic attenuation in the frequency range 1–7 MHz, and the speed of sound, were
determined experimentally in both fresh and fixed bovine and human soft tissues for various …
