Abstract


We present in this paper, step by step procedure in obtaining Agar Phantom from Agar Powder and degassed water using specified bioinstruments, therewith subsequently demonstrate by the Step - Wise Transient Method (STM), how the manufactured (TMM) was utilized in identifying the thermal, and acoustic properties of the fabricated material. TMMs are materials which mimic human body tissues, and as human body tissues are not readily easy to come by, Agar Agar has been used for fabrication of this suitable alternative to simulate the properties of human body tissues in certain medium.

Keywords: Phantom, Transducer, Agar, Ultrasound, Step - wise Transient Plane Source (STPS) Method.
