Measurement of ultrasonic velocity in several biological tissues.

Two coupling media method for ultrasonic velocity measurement in biological tissues

The application of discriminant analysis in differentiation of fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma of breast tissue using ultrasound velocity measurement

Background: Ultrasound propagation velocity was measured experimentally in normal, fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma breast tissues, in order to distinguish normal breast tissue from tumors. Materials and methods: In quantitative measurements of ultrasound velocity, 403 breast tissue images were selected, comprising 130 normal breast tissue, 130 fibroadenoma, and 143 ductal carcinoma tumors. Th...

Measurement and Modelling of the Rubber Resilience based on Ultrasonic Non-destructive Testing in Tires

In tire industry, it is very crucial to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rubber which is used for production of the tire, to ensure the quality of the final product. Resilience is an important property of a rubber, which cannot be evaluated through direct measurement in production cycle in this industry. Therefore, non-destructive ultrasonic testing, which has been used in man...

THEORETICAL MODELS FOR DETERMINING THE VELOCITY OF ULTRASOUND IN BONE AND BONE SAMPLES

Currently available non-invasive clinical methods for diagnosing osteoporosis are mainly associated with ionizing radiation. Ultrasonic assessment of bone disease is a more recent technology. A theoretical explanation for the relationship between ultrasonic parameters and bone structure is necessary. Thus, two types of bone samples of perspex (HAP) and perspex-glass beads were produced. Ea...

Direct ultrasonic velocity measurements of mammalian collagen threads a )

Direct ultrasonic velocity measurements have been made in fresh eollagen threads from mammalian tendon at a frequency of 100 MHz using the scanning laser acoustic microscope. Tendon is of interest since it contains an unusually large amount of collagen, a structural protein thought to be important to the echographic visualizability of normal and pathologic tissues in medical ultrasound. Results...
