Pre-to Postnatal Reduction in Ultrasound Attenuation Coefficient of the Liver

A recent study showed the ultrasound attenuation coefficient of fetal liver between 26 and 40 weeks of gestation to be 26% higher than after birth. To test the hypothesis that ultrasound attenuation is sensitive to fetal liver glycogen concentration, the livers of 24 fetuses were examined at 5 MHz j...
