چکیده

Ultrasound parameters were proposed to characterize femur in vitro from rats. Six quantitative parameters (Apparent Integrated Ultrasonic Backscatter AIB, Frequency Slope of Apparent Backscatter – FSAB, Temporal Slope Apparent Backscatter TSAB, Integrated Reflection Coefficient IRC, Slope and Frequency Integrated Reflection FSIR and Temporal Slope Reflection Coefficient TSRC) were applied to the echo from the cortical and trabecular bone in twelve femur diaphyses in vitro from Wistar rats. The US signal is acquired from 5 previous chosen positions along the femur. The results showed that their values statistically belong to the same group. This is an indication that the proposed method (from acquisition protocol to parameter estimation) has potential to characterize bone tissue in animal models.
