摘要: A practical and highly accurate method of estimation the frequency-dependent slope acoustic attenuation coefficient, α1, using backscattered ultrasound energy is presented. The influence focused beam experimentally measured a simple for incorporating field effects in estimate α1 described. accuracy α1in vitro which appears to be order 10 percent, demonstrates feasibility vivo applications technique.
