What Is Speed Of Sound In Ultrasound? Ultrasound machines assume sound waves travel at a speed of 1540 m/sec through tissue 1. In reality, the speed of sound is affected by the density and elasticity of the medium through which it is traveling and these factors are not constant for human tissues. How is ultrasound

How Is Ultrasound Speed Calculated? The speed at which a sound wave travels through a medium is called the propagation speed or velocity. It is equal to the frequency times the wavelength. In ultrasound it is measured in meters per second (m/s) or millimeters per microsecond (mm/μ s). What determines speed of ultrasound? Ultrasound machines
