5 Beam Width (Slice Thickness)

Ultrasound systems assume all reflectors lie directly along the main axis of the ultrasound beam (i.e., the acoustic axis or central ray)¹; however, ultrasound beams have a finite size. The out-of-plane beam width (slice thickness) can be measured with a diffuse scattering plane.²
