A reflection ultrasonic technique, which offers several advantages over transmission ultrasonic techniques, has been described for elastic property measurement of bone. Ultrasonic velocities from specimens of cancellous bone were compared using a reflection ultrasound technique and the more traditional transmission ultrasonic technique. The two techniques were found to yield velocities which were reasonably well correlated (r2 = 0.74). However, a statistical difference was found between the line of identity and the regression between transmission and reflection velocities (due to an offset in the intercept). In spite of differences in intercept between velocities measured by the two techniques, significant correlation was found between the two methods, suggesting that the reflection technique can measure wave velocities meaningful to bone elasticity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
