  2. Mechanical index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_index

    The pulse pressure amplitudes are measured along the central axis of the ultrasound beam. The P r is calculated by reducing it using an attenuation coefficient of 0.3 dB/cm/MHz. [2] MI is a unitless number that can be used as an index of cavitation bio-effects; a higher MI value indicates greater exposure.

  3. Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_attenuation...

    Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy is a method for characterizing properties of fluids and dispersed particles. It is also known as acoustic spectroscopy. There is an international standard for this method. [1] [2] Measurement of attenuation coefficient versus ultrasound frequency yields

  4. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    Attenuation coefficients are used to quantify different media according to how strongly the transmitted ultrasound amplitude decreases as a function of frequency. The attenuation coefficient ( α {\displaystyle \alpha } ) can be used to determine total attenuation in dB in the medium using the following formula:

  5. Attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient

    The attenuation coefficient of a volume, denoted μ, is defined as [6] =, where Φ e is the radiant flux;; z is the path length of the beam.; Note that for an attenuation coefficient which does not vary with z, this equation is solved along a line from =0 to as:

  6. Ultrasound transmission tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_transmission...

    Ultrasound transmission tomography (UTT) is a form of tomography involving ultrasound. [1]Like X-ray tomography, the attenuation of the ultrasound as it passes through the object can be measured, but since the speed of sound is so much lower than the speed of light, the delay as it passes through the object can also be measured, allowing estimation of both the attenuation coefficient and the ...

  7. Mathematical descriptions of opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    absorption coefficient is essentially (but not quite always) synonymous with attenuation coefficient; see attenuation coefficient for details; molar absorption coefficient or molar extinction coefficient , also called molar absorptivity , is the attenuation coefficient divided by molarity (and usually multiplied by ln(10), i.e., decadic); see ...

  8. Ultrasound computer tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound_computer_tomography

    Unlike X-ray or other physical properties which provide typically only one information, ultrasound provides multiple information of the object for imaging: the attenuation the wave's sound pressure experiences indicate on the object's attenuation coefficient, the time-of-flight of the wave gives speed of sound information, and the scattered ...

  9. Time gain compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_gain_compensation

    Time gain compensation (TGC) is a setting applied in diagnostic ultrasound imaging to account for tissue attenuation. [1] By increasing the received signal intensity with depth, the artifacts in the uniformity of a B-mode image intensity are reduced.
