Title: Continuous wave measurements of acoustic attenuation in an oil/polymer mixture
Abstract: <h2>Abstract</h2> Acoustic attenuation measurements were performed on test objects composed of a mixture of mineral oil and a polymer developed by the 3<i>M</i> Company. The attenuation values, which were measured at 20, 30, 37, and 40°C over the frequency range 1.0–3.5 MHz, fell between the values for castor oil and mineral oil. The frequency dependence of the attenuation is f53. During one year of laboratory use in and out of water, the test objects showed no tendency to deteriorate. This material appears to be a good candidate for use as a simulated tissue in ultrasound research.
