description The aim of this research is to develop a computerised measurement system for acoustic characterisation of medical phantom. The method used is the adaptation of insertion technique and the introduction of the stepped shape design of sample into the system. The developed system consists of an ultrasonic pulser/receiver, two transducers, a digital oscilloscope, a thermometer and a computer. Special computer interfacing is used in the system software development. The resulted software display contains the connection and control panel, the display panel and the calculation panel. The block diagram for software algorithm contains the connection block, the signal acquisition display block, the analysis block and the help block.
