Abstract：
:The fundamental role of the assumption of plane wave ultrasonic propagation in attenuation and scattering measurements on soft tissues is discussed. The evidence for and against the validity of the assumption is shown to be inconclusive. An experimental procedure for direct assessment, by measurement of the ultrasonic amplitude and phase fluctuations occurring after an interrogating plane wave has passed through a tissue specimen, is described. The phase measurements impose significant demands on the mechanical precision, temperature stability and electronic timing capabilities of the measurement system. Measurements are reported on two specimens of fresh beef liver. One exhibited significant fluctuations of amplitude and phase which were reduced by 50% when the effects of thickness variations in the specimen were removed. The other specimen exhibited relatively small fluctuations. The feasibility of making such measurements has been demonstrated and the detailed features of the experimental procedure-which requires considerable care-have been outlined. Although more measurements are needed for definitive conclusions, these will require the development of a reliable technique for determining the presence of gaseous microbubbles in tissue in vitro. The preliminary conclusion that some samples of liver may exhibit low levels of wavefront disruption is consistent with recent evidence in the literature.
