There are 3 components of interaction of ultrasound with the tissue medium: absorption, scattering, and reflection. Absorption of ultrasound by tissue implies loss of energy that is converted to heat. The highest attenuation (loss of energy) is seen in air, the lowest is seen in water. | There are 3 components of interaction of ultrasound with the tissue medium: absorption, scattering, and reflection.
