Research Abstract

In this study, the variability in ultrasound propagation properties in bone, particularly the properties of "fast and slow waves" which can propagate in cancellous bone, was clarified using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations with realistic numerical models of cancellous bone, which were constructed from three-dimensional (3D) X-ray microtomographic (μCT) images. Furthermore, an artificial cancellous bone model with a simplified structure for FDTD simulations of the fast and slow wave propagation was developed. These results laid the foundation of a simulation model for ultrasound diagnosis of human bone status.
