Abstract

The possibility has been established of determining the propagation velocity of elastic waves in bones by an ultrasonic technique in order to study the healing of fracture. An experimental apparatus of new design is described, which has been developed and made for research purposes and diagnostic measurements. The apparatus enables a numerical evaluation of the propagation velocity of ultrasonics in a bone to be automatically portrayed on the counter display, and the complete wave pattern or its details to be watched on the oscilloscope screen. The trends and principles of the exploratory measurements and practical diagnostics are discussed and, after statistical processing, certain results from our determinations are also quoted.
