[Effect of various fixation agents on ultrasound damping in normal and pathological testicular tissues].
In normal and pathological testicular tissue the influence of various fixing agents (Formalin solution, Bouins solution, Hellys solution, Carnoys solution) concerning the acoustical properties of testicular tissue was examined. By means of an ultrasound spectroscopic measurement technique the ultrasound damping was registered by calculation of the ultrasound damping coefficient alpha. The results show that the most lower alpha values were obtained by fixation with formalin solution as well in normal as in altered testicular tissue. The results of fixation according to Helly, Carnoy and Bouin did show markedly differences. Therefore, the fixation of testicular tissue using formalin solution is the best way for experimental examinations of the ultrasound damping behaviour.
