Hey, Skribs, been a while...

While it is true that water is not identical to the human anatomy, it seems that many authorities in the field (Roberts, Fackler, Schwartz, MacPherson, Peters, various forensics labs, etc...) state that good ol' H[sub]2[/sub]O is actually a very good tissue simulant matching identically the results produced in calibrated gel since it too, is very close to the average density of our bodies and possesses a similar internal speed of sound.
