ABSORPTION OF ULTRASOUND IN HUMAN BLOOD
G. GOPALA KRISHNA, A.K.W. ANWAR ALI et A. AHMADBiophysics Laboratory, Department of Physics, Nizam College, Hyderabad, 500001, India
Abstract
Ultrasonic absorption is determined in human blood and its constituents such as RBC, hemoglobin and plasma using ultrasonic interferometer technique at the frequency of 3 MHz. The study suggests that when an acoustic wave passing through a blood sample it encounters three different media namely plasma, cell wall and hemoglobin. These media have their own acoustic impedance values. The acoustic power loss is dependent upon the mismatching of the acoustic impedance values of these three media.
