The distance to the reflector (D) in soft tissue with a round-trip time of 39 µs is _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of sound in soft tissue is approximately 1540 m/s. To find the distance to the reflector, we use the formula D = (c * t) / 2, where D is the distance, c is the speed of sound, and t is the round-trip time. Plugging in the values, we get D = (1540 m/s * 39 * 10^-6 s) / 2 = 0.03003 m, or approximately 3 cm.
