Speed of Sound
The following table contains values for the speed of sound in all tissues and includes statistical information on the standard deviation and the spread in the values.
For missing data on speed of sound in soft tissues, an arbitrary value of 1500 m/s is set as this has been done in various studies.
Note that if two values are drawn from the same publication, there will be a difference between the number of studies indicated in the table below and the number of references provided in the downloadable reference table.
| 'Speed of sound (m/s)' | d.C3 | d.D3 | d.E3 | d.F3 | d.G3 |
| d['B'+r] | var v = parseFloat(d['BN'+r]); return Number.isNaN(v) ? "" : sprintf('%.1f',v); | var v = parseFloat(d['BO'+r]); return Number.isNaN(v) ? "" : sprintf('%.1f',v); | sprintf('%i',d['BP'+r]) | var v = parseFloat(d['BQ'+r]); return Number.isNaN(v) ? "" : sprintf('%.1f',v); | var v = parseFloat(d['BR'+r]); return Number.isNaN(v) ? "" : sprintf('%.1f',v); |
