The echo from planar surfaces with rms roughness, R q , in the range from 0-155 µm was measured with a clinical linear array transducer at different angles of incidence at 6 MHz and 12 MHz. The echo-pulse from the surfaces was isolated with an equal sized window and the power of the echo-pulse was calculated. The power of the echo from the smooth surface (R q = 0) is highly angle-dependent due to a high degree of specular reflection. Within the angular range considered here, -10 • to 10 • , the variation spans a range of 18 dB at both 6 MHz and 12 MHz. When roughness increases, the angle-dependence decreases, as the echo process gradually changes from pure reflection to being predominantly governed by backscattering. The power of the echoes from the two roughest surfaces (R q = 115 µm and 155 µm) are largely independent of angle at both 6 MHz and 12 MHz with a variation of 2 dB in the angular range from -10 • to 10 • . The least rough surfaces (R q = 32 µm and 89 µm) have responses in between with a higher degree of angle-dependence at 6 MHz than at 12 MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
