Abstract

The continued interest in diagnostic applications of ultrasound has led to a need for more detailed knowledge of the ultrasonic properties of biological tissues. In this paper, temperature dependence of ultrasound velocity and attenuation is considered through a fundamental experiment. Acryl and Pig Liver are used as specimen. Data is collected over the temperature range of 20-50 C. As a result, we know that ultrasound velocity and attenuation coefficient are uniformly changed in proportion as specimen's temperature.
