Images and some of the content from Bertrand, et al. JASE 2016;29:381-91. onlinejase.com/article/S0894-… Ultrasound waves need a media to travel. Our tissues are that media. All tissues have different acoustic impedances. Air, fat, water, blood, muscle, bone listed in increasing impedance. Always there will be reflected & refracted waves as it traverses different tissue layers.
