Abstract
A comparison is made between pulse echo response profiles obtained in water and profiles obtained in a tissueโmimicking (TM) material for clinical ultrasound transducers. The TM material is assumed to provide a more accurate indication of actual beam profiles in soft tissue because of the presence of frequencyโdependent attenuation in the material. Pulse echo response profiles measured in the TM medium demonstrate a reduction in the focal distance and degraded resolution distal to the focal distance, in comparison to profiles obtained in water.
