A new ultrasound tissue-equivalent material.
Abstract
Two limitations on the animal-hide gelatin and graphite powder tissue equivalent (TE) materials are that they cannot be produced consistently with speeds of sound less than 1,570 m/s at room temperature (22 degrees C) and that irreparable damage can result if the materials are raised to temperatures above 32.5 degrees C. An acceptable substitute polysaccharide gel (agar) has a high melting point (78 degrees C) and can be made to exhibit speeds of sound over the range 1,498 m/s to over 1,600 m/s at 22 degrees C. Thus TE material made with agar is environmentally stable and can be manufactured to exhibit the important speed of sound, 1,540 m/s.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
