Abstract
The absorption and speed of ultrasound in mammalian tissues are discussed in relation to the fractional protein content. Biological tissues correspond to composite materials whose ultrasonic propagation properties are determined by the individual ultrasound properties of their globular and structural protein contents.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
