High-resolution acoustic mapping of tunable gelatin-based phantoms for ultrasound tissue characterization.

ABSTRACT: Background: The choice of gelatin as the phantom material is underpinned by several key advantages it offers over other materials in the context of ultrasonic applications. Gelatin exhibits spatial and temporal uniformity, which is essential in creating reliable tissue-mimicking phantoms. Its stability ensures that the phantom's properties remain consistent over time, while its flexibility allows for customization to match the acoustic characteristics of specific tissues, in addition to its low levels of ultrasound scattering. These attributes collectively make gelatin a preferred choice for fabricating phantoms in ultrasound-related research. Methods: We developed gelatin-based phantoms with adjustable parameters and conducted high-resolution measurements of ultrasound wave
