Table 1:
Donor and tissue sample properties. The sex, age, height, and mass of each tissue donor are shown. The Rib depth, rib spacing, and pleural depth reported here were measured in situ before the samples were excised. The chest wall sample thickness reported was determined from the ultrasound imaging of excised samples, during the attenuation measurements.
