BONE STRENGTH EVALUATION BY MEASURING INTRAOSSEOUS ULTRASONIC PROPAGATION VELOCITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of simply and inexpensively evaluating a bone density and an ossein which are factors of bone strength by using ultrasonic wave.;SOLUTION: A sonic velocity in a bone ( a finger or the like) is measured by using a single ultrasonic probe. A bone density or an ossein is evaluated from the measured ultrasonic propagation velocity in the inside of the bone which is taken over to a process of an evaluation method of the bone density or the ossein.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
