Influence of temperature on Mean Scattering Spacing estimation of in vitro bovine muscle

Periodicity of structures can be investigated with backscattered ultrasound, usually by applying spectral methods and estimating the Mean Scatterer Spacing (MSS). Biological tissues, such as skeletal muscle, or liver or trabecular bone, can present periodic or quasi-periodic structures. In this work it is studied the behavior of MSS with temperature and frequency for in vitro samples of bovine muscular tissues. MSS was obtained in the range of 37ºC to 43ºC, and between 1 MHz to 10.0 MHz Results show that, for the studied sample, MSS decreased with temperature for the muscle. It seems to be in agreement with the expected physiologic behavior of muscular fibers. Further complementary experiments are being envisaged.
