Relative transmissivity of ultrasound coupling agents commonly used by therapists in the UK

Abstract Coupling agents are required when using therapeutic ultrasound (US) to maximize acoustic contact between the transducer and the insonated tissue. US beam power is attenuated to varying extents by different couplants and this may influence treatment efficacy, since therapeutic effects are do...
