  2. 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

  3. 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:

  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. Ultrasonic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_testing

    The transducer is typically separated from the test object by a couplant [4] such as a gel, oil or water, [1] as in immersion testing. However, when ultrasonic testing is conducted with an Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) the use of couplant is not required. There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform: reflection and ...

  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. Mechanical index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_index

    Mechanical index (MI) is a unitless ultrasound metric. It is defined as [1] =, where P r is the peak rarefaction pressure of the ultrasound wave , derated by an attenuation factor to account for in-tissue acoustic attenuation; f c is the center frequency of the ultrasound pulse .

  9. Stokes's law of sound attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes's_law_of_sound...

    In acoustics, Stokes's law of sound attenuation is a formula for the attenuation of sound in a Newtonian fluid, such as water or air, due to the fluid's viscosity.It states that the amplitude of a plane wave decreases exponentially with distance traveled, at a rate α given by = where η is the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the fluid, ω is the sound's angular frequency, ρ is the fluid ...
