Ultrasonic propagation in cancellous bone: a new stratified model
The theoretical modeling of ultrasonic propagation in cancellous bone is pertinent to improving the ultrasonic diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Abstract

The theoretical modeling of ultrasonic propagation in cancellous bone is pertinent to improving the ultrasonic diagnosis of osteoporosis. First, this paper reviews applications of Biot’s theory to this problem. Next, a new approach is presented, based on an idealization of cancellous bone as a periodic array of bone-marrow layers. Schoenberg’s theory is applied to this model to predict wave properties. Bovine bone samples were tested in vitro using pulses centered at 1 MHz over various angles relative to the orientated cancellous structure. Two longitudinal modes (fast and slow waves) were observed for propagation parallel to the structure, but only one was observed for propagation normal to the structure. Angular-dependence of velocities was examined, and the fast wave was found to be strongly anisotropic. These results gave qualitative agreement with predictions of Schoenberg’s theory. Although this new model is a simplification of the cancellous architecture, it has potential for future research
