Résumé
Materials with well-characterized acoustic properties are of great interest for the development of tissue-mimicking phantoms with designed (micro)vasculature networks. These represent a useful means for controlled in-vitro experiments to validate perfusion imaging methods such as Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging. In this work, acoustic properties of seven tissue-mimicking phantom materials at different concentrations of their compounds and five phantom case materials are characterized and compared at room temperature. The goal of this research is to determine the most suitable phantom and case material for ultrasound perfusion imaging experiments. The measurements show a wide range in speed of sound varying from 1057 to 1616 m/s, acoustic impedance varying from 1.09 to 1.71 × 10
