Abstract:
By means of an ultrasound spectroscopic measurement technique the influence of examining temperature on the ultrasound attenuation was experimentally investigated on formalin-fixed normal and altered testicular tissue. In the examined tissue specimens a temperature-dependent change of ultrasound attenuation (alpha on 6 MHz) was found in the temperature area between 10 and 50 degrees C. In the altered testicular tissue a higher damping decline could be observed. On the measuring points the specimens were examined by light microscopy.
