Acoustic Enhancement. The structures located behind fluid and homogenous tissues generally appear brighter (whiter) than other structures, creating an impression that the echoes have been amplified ... In reality, however, the amplitude of the sound has not changed. When sound traverses a structure that absorbs less acoustic energy than surrounding tissues, the area located behind that structure will appear relatively brighter than its surroundings. 1, record 1, English, - acoustic%20enhancement
