Abstract
Scattering of ultrasound occurs when a propagating wave encounters variations in some intrinsic property, such as density compressibility or absorption, of the propagation medium. Scattering is manifested as a change in the spatial distribution (and, in the case of absorption, the total amount) of the ultrasonic energy. There are four distinct components to be considered in any scattering problem.
