Abstract:
Measurements were performed on freshly-excised bovine liver and myocardium to determine the ultrasonic scattering nature of the tissues under a variety of experimental conditions. Results for the angular distribution of the differential scattering cross section per unit volume of tissue are reported for scattering angles spanning 170 to 44 degrees for interrogating frequencies of 1.0, 2.25, 3.5 and 5.0 MHz. Fresh and aged tissues, some with abnormally high connective tissue content were analyzed. The results are compared to previously-published works.
