Abstract
The implications of a fractal model of medium structure for the angular dependence of the ultrasonic differential scattering cross section and for the frequency dependence of the total ultrasonic scattering cross section are explored. The results for the differential scattering cross section agree well with published experimental value for liver and those for the total scattering cross section are not inconsistent with literature data.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
