Abstract: Tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) have a prominent role in validating new high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapies. Agar-based TMMs are often developed mimicking the thermal properties of muscle tissue, while TMMs simulating fat tissue properties are rarely developed. Herein, twelve agar-based TMMs were iteratively developed with varied concentrations of agar, water, glycerol and propan-2-ol, and characterized for their suitability in emulating the thermal conductivity of human fat tissue.
