Popis: This paper presents the fabrication and characterization of ultrasound brain phantom, which was characterized with 3.5 MHz transducer. Etylenglicol and bovine gelatin was used in the fabrication. The study focuses in the measurement of the speed of sound and attenuation coefficient in the tissue by using the pulse-echo and transmission methods in order to compare the results and evaluate the methods. The obtained results in this study are useful for the development of ultrasound brain phantom similar to that of the human brain.
