Comparison of Velocity and Ultrasound Transit Time Spectroscopy in Cancellous Bone Phantom

More about the book

The study investigates the potential of ultrasound technology in predicting the velocity of sound through cancellous bone, building on the historical development of medical imaging since the discovery of x-rays. It highlights the evolution of imaging techniques, particularly ultrasound's clinical applications over the past 40 years, initiated by early attempts to diagnose brain tumors. By employing a deconvolution method, the research aims to correlate calculated ultrasound transit times with those obtained from clinical ultrasound bone densitometers, enhancing diagnostic capabilities in biomedical engineering.
