Abstract
Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are the most common neoplasm appearing in female dogs and are considered the equivalent animal model of human breast cancer. However, in the literature, there is a gap for ultrasonic characterisation of these tumours. In this study, experimental measurements for acoustic attenuation and propagation speed of three surgically excised malignant CMTs were implemented.
