Oil-Based Gel Phantoms and the Speed of Sound

Different ultrasound phantom materials have been proposed to overcome the limited temporal stability of commonly used hydrogels. Styrene –ethylene/butylene–styrene (SEBS) polymer mixed with mineral oil is one example of a very stable gel that has been investigated as a tissue substitute for ultrasound imaging for a variety of applications (Oudry et al. 2009; Vieira et al. 2013; Cabrelli et al. 2017b; Hadadian et al. 2018; Suzuki et al. 2019) and complex anatomic structures (Grillo et al. 2018; Maneas et al.
