Abstract
Cancellous bone is known to be poroelastic in structure. Ultrasonic wave propagation in cancellous bone can be formulated by using Biot’s equations. In this paper we present some results in our ongoing research on the reflection and transmission of ultrasonic waves in cancellous bone. We investigate the relations among reflected waves, transmitted waves and Biot coefficients. We present an algorithm for the determination of the porosity of cancellous bone.
