Speed Of Sound In Rubber Based Materials For Ultrasound Phantoms

A single layer of carnauba wax was added to the lesion surface in order to evaluate its applicability for imaging.

Speed of sound in rubber based materials for ultrasound phantoms.

From this mixture phantom materials were obtained with speed of sound varying from 1379 3 to 1397 9 m s 1 and an attenuation coefficient having values between 0 29 and 0 94 db cm 1 for a frequency of 1 mhz at 24 c. Silicone may not present satisfying acoustic prop erties for use in ultrasound or photoacoustics culjat et al 2010. Purpose in this work we provide measurements of speed of sound sos and acoustic impedance z of some doped non doped rubber based materials dedicated to the development of ultrasound phantoms. The speed of sound for the phantoms ranged from 1425 4 0 6 to 1480 3 1 7 m s at room temperature.

In this work we provide measurements of speed of sound sos and acoustic impedance z of some doped non doped rubber based materials dedicated to the development of ultrasound phantoms. Breast phantoms were produced with a broad range of acoustical properties. Oil based materials composed of olefin polymers in a mineral oil matrix are another class of tmm. Materials with tailored acoustic properties are of great interest for both the development of tissue mimicking phantoms for ultrasound tests and smart scaffolds for ultrasound mediated tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

1390 to 1500 m s which is still in the range of speed of sound for human tissue. And dehydration reducing the temporal stability of the phantoms. The ultrasound propagation speed of polymer gels was being characterized. Different silicones ecoflex dragon skin medium and polyurethane.

These data are expected to be useful for speeding up the preparation of multi organ phantoms which show similar echogenicity to real tissues. We have discovered such a material in the form of water based pharmaceutical gels containing uniform distributions of graphite powder and known concentrations of alcohol. In this work we provide measurements of speed of sound sos and acoustic impedance z of some doped non doped rubber based materials dedicated to the development of ultrasound phantoms. In this study we assessed the acoustic properties speed of sound acoustic impedance and attenuation.

Some common materials used in phantoms for optical imaging e g. Purpose in this work we provide measurements of speed of sound sos and acoustic impedance z of some doped non doped rubber based materials dedicated to the development of ultrasound phantoms. Index terms tissue mimicking ultrasound phantom abdominal ultrasound ultrasound propagation speed. Up until now no material has been found whose attenuation and speed of sound properties not only mimic those of human soft tissue but are controllable in magnitude.
