Attenuation of Ultrasound
Ultrasound is absorbed in the body; this complicates the use of ultrasound to image tissues. The intensity of a beam of ultrasound decreases by a factor of 2 after traveling a distance of 40 wavelengths. Each additional travel of 40 wavelengths results in a decrease by another factor of 2.
