Abstract A flexible parametric random model of an ultrasonic signal is presented, by means of which a broad class of signals with well known properties can be simulated This model is used to examine two time-domain methods for estimating attenuation in soft tissue. It is shown that the estimate of attenuation given by these methods is in good agreement with values obtained experimentally and they are robust against large echoes in the ultrasonic signal. Since the amount of computation needed for estimation is feasible both methods are well suited for online implementation. The estimation methods are used forin vivo measurement of attenuation in liver tissue.
