[Experimental investigations on the effect of the transducer-specimen distance on the ultrasound attenuation of formalin-fixed testicular tissue].

Abstract

Additional information on the tissue structure are possible by estimation of sound physical parameters in comparison with normal B-scan ultrasonography, especially the frequency-dependent ultrasound attenuation. The ultrasound attenuation measurements were made on histochemical normal and pathological testicular tissue with changing transducer-specimen distance. No markedly difference in damaging behaviour was found between normal and pathological testicular tissue at different distances.
