The temperature dependence of soft tissue acoustic properties is relevant for monitoring tissue hyperthermia. In the current work, the propagation speed and attenuation of healthy porcine left ventricular myocardium (N=5) was investigated in a frequency range relevant for clinical diagnostic imaging, i.e. 2.5–13.0MHz. Each tissue sample was held in a water bath at a temperature T=25°C, heated to 45°C,...
Accurate estimation of the local acoustic attenuation based on the backscatter signal has several applications, e.g. ultrasound tissue characterization. Most of the existing techniques determine the attenuation coefficient of the tissue directly from the spectrum of the backscattered signal. In these approaches other effects, such as diffraction, that may influence the attenuation estimation should...
