INTRODUCTION: Physically, ultrasound (US) attenuation depends on the absorption and scattering properties of the material and, thereby, is highly specific for each tissue. It has been suggested that US attenuation in articular cartilage (AC) can be related to tissue degeneration [1]. In this study, the interrelationships between various US attenuation an
