ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for displaying at least one acoustic propagation property that is present within a body part suitable for diagnosis by acoustic irradiation, ultrasound transmission signals are transmitted along scan lines into the body part by an ultrasound transducer arrangement. Ultrasound signals that have passed through the body part are acquired as transmitted sound signals with a further ultrasound transducer arrangement arranged opposite the first ultrasound transducer arrangement. Parameter values are calculated from the transmitted sound signals that characterize the acoustic propagation property along the scan lines. The parameter values are portrayed on a display dependent on the corresponding scan lines.
