Q

Ultrasound, iiontophoresis, phonophoresis

US Absorption:

A
  • Absorption is the main form of attenuation. Absorption happens as sound travels through soft tissue, the particles that transmit the waves vibrate and cause friction and a loss of sound energy occurs and heat is produced. In soft tissue sound intensity decreases exponentially with depth.

Q

US Reflection

A
  • When a sound wave is incident on a interface between two tissues, part of it is reflected back into the original medium. The amount of energy reflected back depends on impedance.
  • The greater the difference in impedance between the tissues forming the interface the greater the amount of energy that is reflected back.
  • Impedance is a property of a tissue defined as density of tissue and velocity of sound in that tissue.
