Interlaboratory comparison of ultrasonic attenuation and speed measurements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Interlaboratory comparison of ultrasonic backscatter coefficient measurements from 2 to 9 MHz.
OBJECTIVE As are the attenuation coefficient and sound speed, the backscatter coefficient is a fundamental ultrasonic property that has been used to characterize many tissues. Unfortunately, there is currently far less standardization for the ultrasonic backscatter measurement than for the other two, as evidenced by a previous American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM)-sponsored interl...
متن کاملThe Ability of Ultrasonic Characterization to Extract the Dose Distribution of MAGIC-f Polymer Gel
Background & Aims: Today, different imaging techniques have been studied in the reading of radiationsensitive polymer gels dosage. Due to limitations of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), ultrasound techniques are proposed for dose-dependent parameter extraction. In this study, using MAGIC-f (methacrylic and ascorbic acid in gelatin initiat...
متن کاملInterlaboratory comparison of ultrasonic backscatter, attenuation, and speed measurements.
In a study involving 10 different sites, independent results of measurements of ultrasonic properties on equivalent tissue-mimicking samples are reported and compared. The properties measured were propagation speed, attenuation coefficients, and backscatter coefficients. Reasonably good agreement exists for attenuation coefficients, but less satisfactory results were found for propagation speed...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of edible gelatin concentration as a polymerization agent on MAGIC-f polymer gel dose-response sensitivity irradiated by 1.25 MeV energy of cobalt-60. To investigate the dose-dependent polymerization, ultrasonic parameters of propagation speed of sound and broadband ultrasound attenuation coefficient were evaluated. To read-out of the radiation-in...
متن کاملDetermination of sediments diameter using acoustic waves
The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...
